Trump Offers National Guard to Curb Chicago Violence as Kim Jong Un Appears in Beijing

President Donald Trump has stated he will send the U.S. National Guard to Chicago if local officials do not act to reduce violent crime. The announcement comes amid ongoing concern over gun violence in the city. Separately, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was seen at a major military parade in China. His presence at the event in Beijing is a rare international appearance. Analysts see it as a sign of strengthening ties between the two allied nations. The two events are not connected but highlight different aspects of international security and diplomacy on the same day.
