US President Donald Trump believes he will not have to use troops to suppress riots, TASS reported.

In an interview with Newsmax TV on Wednesday, Trump was asked if he was ready to send troops to American cities hit by riots, he said that it will depend on the circumstances, but he does not think they will have to do that.

The protests in the US came following a video showing African American Floyd's arrest. Floyd was suspected of shopping with fake money at a store.

He was handcuffed and thrown to the ground, after which a police officer pressed him on the asphalt with his knee. Floyd screamed that he couldn’t breathe, but the police officers didn’t pay attention to him. The African American was hospitalized, but doctors failed to save his life.
