The US government considers the possibility of organizing a large -scale military parade on June 14, dedicated to the 250th anniversary of the country's armed forces. According to Associated Press (AP) related to internal documents, the date of this event coincides with the 79th anniversary of former President Donald Trump.
There is no official confirmation.
The parade is expected to be held on the national alley in Washington. About 6.3 thousand military staff, including tanks and infantry units, military orchestras and skydiving soldiers, can participate in it. The cost is estimated at tens of millions of dollars – the fund will be transferred to the transport technology, the position of the staff and the event organization.
Trump appreciates the US's contribution to World War II
It is recorded. That the idea of military parade was proposed by Trump in the first stage, but it was later rejected due to high cost ($ 92 million) and logistics difficulties. The president's current plans include large military resource transfer from all over the country, which raises questions about the suitability of costs.
On May 2, Trump called the United States unable to compare the victory in the first and second world wars. According to him, “no even no one has access” to the United States with strength, courage and military skills. Along with this, he established new holidays – now on November 11 and May 8, Americans will celebrate the victory days in the first and second world wars.
