The United States will deploy 500 additional troops to the capital Washington after a shooter wounded two members of the National Guard in the city, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Wednesday.
“This will only stiffen our resolve to ensure that we make Washington, DC safe and beautiful,” said Hegseth, who announced the planned troop increase — which will bring the number of National Guard in the US capital to more than 2,500 — during a visit to the Dominican Republic.
