Trump has asked the chiefs for the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines stand next to him as aircraft from each of their branches of the military fly overhead, the New York Times reports
Donald Trump has reportedly requested the chiefs of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines stand next to him during a special Fourth of July event.
Mr Trump has wanted a military parade of tanks and other military hardware in Washington after he witnessed a similar parade on Bastille Day in Paris in 2017, but the plan was eventually scuttled partly because of the cost.He appeared to acknowledge local officials' concerns over the damage the heavily armoured tanks could do to city streets, adding: “You’ve got to be pretty careful with the tanks because the roads have a tendency not to like to carry heavy tanks.
“We’re going to have a great Fourth of July in Washington, DC. It’ll be like no other,” Mr Trump said. “It’ll be special and I hope a lot of people come. And it’s going to be about this country and it’s a salute to America.” Story continuesWe have said it before, and we’ll say it again: Tanks, but no tanks. pic.twitter.com/ock2EORKNzMr Trump plans to deliver a speech at the Lincoln Memorial during his “Salute to America,” which has been added to the regular schedule of Independence Day events in the capital. The annual fireworks display will go off closer to the Lincoln Memorial instead of the Washington Monument, as has been the long-standing tradition.
