June 14 - the 250th anniversary of the American army! On this date, former and possibly future president of the USA, Donald Trump, is planning to hold a large military parade in the capital, Washington. Interestingly, this date is also Trump's personal celebration - he will turn 79 on that day!
6.5 km of military steps!
The route of the parade that Trump is planning is 4 miles (almost 6.5 km). It will start from the US Department of Defense's center in Arlington and continue to the White House. The Washington City Paper was the first to report this.
Local officials and military personnel are also aware of these plans, but so far no official request or order has been given. “For now, this is just Trump’s plan,” emphasize The Hill and NewsNation publications.
Why was the 2018 parade canceled?
During his first term as president, Trump wanted to hold a similar parade in 2018. However:
- Costs of 92 million dollars (84 million euros),
- and potential infrastructure damage from tanks on the roads
were taken into account, and this plan did not come to fruition.
There was also a grand parade in 2019
Additionally, in 2019, at Trump's initiative, the first major military parade in Washington in 27 years took place. It was held on July 4, US Independence Day.
Zamin.uz conclusion:
- 250 years to the American army!
- 79 years to Donald Trump!
- One day, two reasons - the military parade is sure to cause a lot of excitement.
Spectacular footage, high-level security, and potential criticisms - all are characteristic of Trump's style. Now both supporters and critics in the USA are looking forward to June 14. What about you?
