US President Donald Trump on Tuesday claimed Los Angeles was being invaded by a "foreign enemy," as he addressed protests in the city in a hardline speech at an army base.
"We will not allow an American city to be invaded and conquered by a foreign enemy," Trump told troops at Fort Bragg in North Carolina, speaking about the protests, which were sparked by immigration raids.
"What you're witnessing in California is a full-blown assault on peace, on public order and national sovereignty, carried out by rioters bearing foreign flags with the aim of continuing a foreign invasion of our country."
