US President Donald Trump threatened to use the unlimited power of the country's armed forces to quell unrest in states where liberal governors and mayors are not acting hard enough to quell street unrest caused by the death of African-American George Floyd. On May 30, he wrote about it on his page on the social network Twitter. Trump stressed that crossing the country's state borders to incite violence is a federal crime. Liberal governors and mayors should behave a lot tougher, otherwise the federal government will step into the cause and do what needs to be done, including using the unlimited power of our armed forces and a host of arrests, the U.S. leader said.
