President Trump just confirmed that he is willing to send the National Guard into New York City.
Following his meeting with newly-elected socialist NYC Mayor Mamdani yesterday, President Trump was asked by reporters if he will still deploy the National Guard.
President Trump said that this was one of the things he talked about with Mamdani and that, while other places “need it more,” he will send in the troops if it’s needed.

A few months ago, President Trump teased New York City as the next city he would send the National Guard to after Chicago.
Mediaite noted:
Trump has said previously that New York was on his list of Democrat-run cities that he would deploy the National Guard to, saying in August he would “help” fight crime in the Big Apple after he was done in Chicago.
MS NOW reporter Akayla Gardner asked Trump if he was still looking to deploy the National Guard to NYC, while he took questions before heading to Joint Base Andrews on Saturday.
“If they need it. Right now, other places need it more, but if they need it,” Trump said. “We had a very good meeting yesterday. We talked about that, but if they need it, I would do it.”
That answer echoed a similar comment he made with Mamdani in the Oval Office on Friday. The president also said he would feel “very comfortable” living in his hometown of NYC, especially after meeting with the next mayor.
