TRT Global – Pro-Palestine protesters disrupt Trump Cabinet dinner in Washington DC
“We’re going to be announcing another city that we’re going to very shortly. We’re working it out with the governor of a certain state that would love us to be there,” Trump told reporters.
He suggested further announcements on federal crackdowns and troop deployments in Democratic-led cities would come “probably tomorrow.”
The administration has framed its increased use of federal security forces in the capital as necessary to restore order, though local officials have pushed back, saying crime rates were already falling.
The protests highlighted tensions over US policy in the Middle East, with activists linking Trump’s domestic security agenda to Washington’s support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
The war has killed more than 64,600 Palestinians since October 2023, devastated the enclave and pushed its population into famine.
As demonstrators chanted outside the restaurant, CODEPINK leaders said the group aimed to draw attention to what they called “the inseparable link between militarised policing at home and militarised occupation abroad.”
