Trump welcomes appeal court ruling that he can keep national guard in LA – US politics live
President claims decision will prevent city ‘burning to the ground’Trump keeps national guard in LA for nowGood morning, and welcome to our blog covering US politics amid continuing protests across the country, legal wrangles over the national guard deployment, preparations for a huge military parade in Washington and, along with all that, a major escalation of the conflict in the Middle East as Israel attacks Iran’s nuclear and military sites. So stay with us for all the developments.Donald Trump has welcomed an appeals court ruling that temporarily returned control of California’s national guard to him, claiming it would keep Los Angeles from “burning to the ground”. It blocked an earlier ruling by a federal judge that the president’s use of the guards to suppress protests in LA was illegal and banned it. The appeals court said it will hold a fuller hearing on the matter on Tuesday.The Appeals Court ruled last night that I can use the National Guard to keep our cities, in this case Los Angeles, safe. If I didn’t send the Military into Los Angeles, that city would be burning to the ground right now. We saved L.A. Thank you for the Decision!!!Trump has urged Iran to make a deal over its nuclear programme, saying in a post on his Truth Social platform that there was still time for the country to prevent further conflict with Israel. He wrote: “Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left, and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire. No more death, no more destruction, JUST DO IT, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.”Trump has said he will attend the G7 summit in Canada which starts on Sunday. It is set to be the first major global gathering of his second term. Looking to avoid a dust-up, Canadian PM Mark Carney had set the agenda on largely uncontroversial themes such as building global supply chains for critical minerals. That now seems likely to be upended amid the Israel-Iran escalation.Alex Padilla, a Democratic California senator and vocal critic of the Trump administration’s immigration polices, was forcibly removed and handcuffed as he attempted to ask a question at a press conference held by Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, in Los Angeles on Thursday.Preparations are underway for an extravaganza of American military might featuring tanks and other armored vehicles rolling through Washington, thousands of soldiers marching the streets and military aircraft flying overhead on Saturday.

President claims decision will prevent city ‘burning to the ground’
Good morning, and welcome to our blog covering US politics amid continuing protests across the country, legal wrangles over the national guard deployment, preparations for a huge military parade in Washington and, along with all that, a major escalation of the conflict in the Middle East as Israel attacks Iran’s nuclear and military sites. So stay with us for all the developments.
