[국제]U.S. national emergency emergency ahead of inauguration ceremony…25,000 National Guard troops put into Washington DC

[앵커]

Ahead of the inauguration of U.S. President-elect Joe Biden this week on the 20th, an emergency took place in Washington, DC and across 50 states.

In response to warnings from authorities that armed extremist protests are being planned across the United States, Washington, DC, where the inauguration ceremony is held, will have up to 25,000 State Guards deployed.

The US Capitol, where the inauguration ceremony will be held on the 20th, is surrounded by barriers.

The lawn area in front of the National Mall and the Capitol, which was filled with crowds at each inauguration ceremony, has already been closed.

Barriers and railings have been installed throughout the roads in Washington DC to control access to the public.

The National Guard continues to be deployed.

We decided to deploy 25,000 people, far more than originally planned.

FBI agents all over the country were also mobilized.

Super emergencies are the same in other states.

This is because the FBI warned that armed protests could take place across the country until the day of inauguration.

Each state is installing railings around the state council, installing planks on windows, and enhancing contrast.

Michigan State, which experienced a nightmare from militia protests last year, banned the carrying of guns in the Capitol and canceled meetings before and after taking office.

The U.S. FBI said it has already collected close to 100,000 pieces of information on its website and other possible protests ahead of the inauguration ceremony.
