A US appeals court allowed president Donald Trump to temporarily maintain the National Guard deployed in Los Angeles, soon after a federal judge had ordered him to return control of the troops to California governor Gavin Newsom.

The decision by the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals paused a lower court ruling blocking the mobilisation of the National Guard by Trump.
