WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump will not take the dramatic step for now of seeking control of the National Guard, his national security adviser said on Sunday as protests flared in U.S. cities after the death of an unarmed black man in Minneapolis in police custody last week.
"We're not going to federalize the Guard at this time. But, if necessary, we have further military assets that can be deployed," Robert O'Brien told reporters at the White House. "We'll do whatever the governors or mayors need to keep control of their cities."
