US President Donald Trump has said that he wants to use American cities as “training grounds" for the military.
BBC quoted Trump repeating his criticism of Democratic-led cities including San Francisco, Chicago, New York and Los Angeles and indicating that he would continue his policy of using military for law enforcement.
