Trump credits Benioff, Huang for decision not to ‘surge’ Fed troops into San Francisco

AI Summary

medium article 2 min

President Trump had initially planned to deploy National Guard troops into San Francisco but changed his mind after conversations with tech industry leaders Marc Benioff of Salesforce and Jensen Huang of Nvidia. The decision was confirmed by San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie, who stated that the military operation had been both planned and subsequently called off. Earlier this month, Benioff had supported sending National Guard troops to patrol the city's streets but later reversed his stance following Salesforce’s Dreamforce conference. This shift in position coincided with his discussions with Trump, leading to the cancellation of the troop deployment plan.
