Trump Says Tech Leaders and Mayor Changed His Mind About Using Federal Force in San Francisco

News

25 Oct, 2025

What happened

Donald Trump announced that he will not proceed with a planned “surge” of federal agents (or National Guard) into San Francisco, after discussions with local leadership and tech industry figures. AP News+2Reuters+2
Trump said he got calls from tech executives — notably Marc Benioff (CEO of Salesforce) and Jensen Huang (CEO of Nvidia) — who told him that San Francisco was making progress and urged giving local efforts a chance. San Francisco Chronicle+1
The city’s new mayor, Daniel Lurie, also engaged with the President and advocated for letting the city continue its path of recovery rather than federal militarised intervention. The Guardian+1
While the surge is being paused (or called off for now), it isn’t entirely off the table. Trump indicated he could revisit federal intervention if local efforts fail or violence escalates. AP News+1

⚠️ Key details to note

The “surge” referred to federal agents or possibly the National Guard coming into San Francisco to address crime and immigration enforcement. Reuters+1
The decision appears to be influenced by both public-safety statistics from the city (crime down, fewer car break-ins) and persuasion by local actors rather than a full reversal of policy. CBS News+1
Some local officials and activists remain sceptical of the pause, questioning whether the federal government’s readiness means the intervention could still happen. AP News+1

🔍 Why it matters

It’s a rare case where a President who frequently threatens federal intervention in cities reversed course after engagement with local actors and industry leaders.
Highlights the influence of major tech industry figures in local-federal policy discussions, especially when their business/region is involved.
Raises questions about the conditions under which federal law-enforcement/militarised responses are triggered in U.S. cities, and how local leadership and public perception play a role.
Sets a precedent for how local-federal partnerships might evolve: federal force remains a lever, but local goodwill and performance can avert its deployment.
