What did Trump say?
The president delivered a brief address from the White House Rose Garden, amid the sound of a nearby protest being dispersed.
Mr Trump said "all Americans were rightly sickened and revolted by the brutal death of George Floyd" but said his memory must not be "drowned out by an angry mob".
He described the scenes of looting and violence in the capital on Sunday as "a total disgrace" before pledging to bolster the city's defences.
"I'm dispatching thousands and thousands of heavily armed soldiers, military personnel and law enforcement officers to stop the rioting, looting, vandalism, assaults and the wanton destruction of property," he said.

Mr Trump added: ". then I'll deploy the United States military and quickly solve the problem for them."
