Trump Assures Military is 'All the Way' With Minnesota Governor Amid Riots Over George Floyd's Death

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has already activated the state's National Guard amid the ongoing protests and riots in the wake of George Floyd's death in Minneapolis on Monday.

US President Donald Trump has assured Minnesota Governor Tim Walz that the military is ready to provide assistance and quell the ongoing unrest in Minneapolis, if local authorities don't bring the city under control. Widespread riots and looting were triggered by the death of George Floyd, an African-American man who was tackled by several police officers before being pinned to the ground by his neck and later dying in police custody on Monday.
