They've been deployed since August, more than 2,000 troops, including 180 from West Virginia.

President Trump ordered the deployment, as you remember, to help reduce crime.

And they've been patrolling mostly in the tourist areas near the monuments in Georgetown.

And also they've been picking up trash, removing graffiti.

And just yesterday, the government filed an appeal looking to

have a ruling from a federal judge who blocked the deployment.

And just after the shooting, Defense Secretary Pete Hegs has said President Trump has ordered another 500 guard troops to D.C.

We're prepared to be unhappy, and we're not.

The proposal appears to give Russia everything they want in more.

Right now, the Russians control about 88% of the eastern Donbass region, and this proposal gives them all that land.

Also, Britain and other European nations had planned on sending troops to oversee a peace agreement.

That proposal says that will not happen.

Those are among the reasons the French foreign minister said peace cannot be a capitulation.

and it's likely other European allies will balk at this plan as well.

The proposal calls for auctioning off leases in the eastern Gulf and the untouched high Arctic in Alaska, as well as up and down the California coast, which hasn't seen new drilling in decades.

Oil and gas groups welcome the move as opening up investments.

Environmental groups have denounced it as high risk and low reward.

Wade Crowfoot, the California Secretary for Natural Resources, called into a press conference from the California coastline and spoke with waves crashing behind him.

Expanding offshore oil drilling is a danger.

The plan will be open for public comment for 60 days.
