Mike Johnson speaks with ABC News, Oct. 1, 2025, following a government shutdown. Trump talked about his efforts to increase the use of the U.S. military in American cities. Jeffries told “GMA” that the Americans have “rejected the deployment and occupation of American cities and towns and counties with American military troops.”“We have the finest military in the world and they should be used to keep us safe from external enemies,” Jeffries added. Trump’s comments come after he ordered federal troops to Portland, Oregon, because of what he alleged were threats from domestic terrorists. The city’s mayor and the state’s governor both emphasized that they did not request the troops and objected to Trump’s action.
