"We are removing the National Guard from Chicago, Los Angeles and Portland," Trump writes in a post on Truth Social.
The announcement comes after the Supreme Court last week blocked the president's order to assist in efforts to curb migration. However, according to Trump, the last word on the matter has not been said.
"We will come back, hopefully in a much different and stronger form, when crime surges again," the post says.
Soldiers have already left Los Angeles after Trump sent them there as part of a broader package of measures aimed at curbing migration and crime. In both Chicago and Portland, there are personnel on site, but they have not been able to patrol the streets due to legal processes surrounding their deployment.
Trump claims that he wants to tackle violent crime in big cities, but has been criticized for mainly sending soldiers to Democratic-led areas.
