US President Donald Trump confirms he will deploy troops to Chicago, though he would not say when he planned to launch his latest crackdown on a US city.

Colorado senator slams Space Command move, warns of national security risks
Colorado Senator John Hickenlooper responded to Trump’s announcement that he was moving the US Space Command from his state, saying that it will move the country’s space defence back years.

“Moving the Space Command headquarters weakens our national security at the worst possible time,” Hickenlooper said in a statement posted on X from the “Entire Colorado Delegation”.

“Space Command’s long-term presence in Colorado Springs has also created a large number of civilian businesses and workers on which the Command now relies,” the statement added.Key takeaways from Trump’s news conference
