US president says deployment will be like the one in Washington DC and also adds St Louis to list of citiesTrump to send national guard to Memphis and Chicago ‘probably next’Secretary of state Marco Rubio will travel to Qatar on Tuesday, the Washington Post is reporting, after holding talks with Benjamin Netanyahu today in Israel.As my colleague Julian Borger writes: “Part of [Rubio’s] mission on this two-day visit is to convey Donald Trump’s irritation at the Israeli missile strike on Doha that was aimed at Hamas leadership but killed their aides and a Qatari security officer.Common sense dictates that drone technology should be harnessed to scan every elevated structure with a line of sight to a target.If drones can enable the early detection and prevention of assassination attempts, why not use them?
