Former President Donald Trump has publicly renounced the idea of deploying ground forces within the territories of the United States. The exact context and reasons behind the sudden announcement are yet to be deciphered. It follows consistent debates regarding the mobilization of military forces within the country.

Japan has a history of complex opinions concerning military deployment and actions, largely influenced by its post-war constitution and relations with countries like the U.S. As such, any decisions regarding the deployment of military forces by countries with substantial influence over Japan, like the U.S., are keenly observed for potential implications.

While the U.S. has generally refrained from deploying forces domestically, large-scale protests or severe threats to national security occasionally prompt discussions on the matter. In the EU, legislation determines the instances in which military deployment domestically is permissible, but such decisions often involve extensive debate concerning civil liberties and the role of the military.
