Americans Favor External Threats for Troop Deployment

A recent Reuters/Ipsos survey reveals that over half of Americans believe the US government should only deploy armed troops for external threats. The poll, released amid controversy over President Trump's deployment of National Guard troops to cities like Portland, found 58% of Americans hold this view. While a strong majority of Democrats agree, Republican support is only a slim majority. Furthermore, a significant portion of Americans oppose sending troops into a state against a governor's wishes, with Republicans largely supporting such deployments.
