WASHINGTON - The Trump administration is holding talks with Oregon's governor about containing anti-racism protests in Portland after clashes with federal government troops guarding facilities there, Vice President Mike Pence said.
"The violence in Portland has got to stop. It is clear that the local leadership and the mayor of Portland are not willing to step up. That's why we're talking to Governor Kate Brown and the state of Oregon about working a way forward," Pence told Fox. Brown and Portland's mayor, both Democrats, have complained they never asked for the federal agents and their presence was worsening the situation with protesters.
