WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has threatened to deploy troops to Baltimore, escalating a clash with Maryland Governor Wes Moore after the Democrat invited him to join a "safety walk" in the city."If Wes Moore needs help, like Gavin Newscum did in L.A., I will send in the 'troops,' which is being done in nearby DC, and quickly clean up the Crime," Trump wrote on social media.The comments mark the latest flashpoint in the president's efforts to deploy National Guard troops to Democratic-led cities as part of what he calls a crackdown on crime.The use of military personnel for domestic law enforcement has drawn fierce backlash from Democrats.

But there was anger.For many villagers it was the fact that the floods came with no warning."Why didn't the government warn us sooner?" was the overwhelming sentiment.But there was also rage at a perceived lack of support from local...
