WASHINGTON - Police fired tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse peaceful demonstrators near the White House on Monday as US President Donald Trump vowed a massive show of force to end violent protests over the death of George Floyd in police custody.

The police action against protesters cleared the way for Trump to walk from the White House to nearby St John's Episcopal Church along with other officials including US Attorney General William Barr. Trump posed for photos at the church, which suffered minor damage the night before, holding up a Bible.

Trump, a Republican, has condemned the killing of Floyd and promised justice but has described protesters as"thugs."
