President Trump marked the 75th anniversary of D-day at the American cemetery above Omaha Beach, praising the courage and sacrifice of those who fought and lauding the alliance that turned the tide of World War II and defeated the Nazis in World War II.
And the U.S., Macron said, while Trump sat with arms folded behind him, “is never greater than when it is fighting for the freedom of others.”
“To all our friends and partners — our cherished alliance was forged in the heat of battle, tested in the trials of war and proven in the blessings of peace,” he said. “Our bond is unbreakable.” “I know a lot of people in Pennsylvania who want to vote for you,” one called out loudly enough to be heard by those sitting close to the stage.
Trump told reporters that while walking through the cemetery and laying a wreath with Macron, he marveled at the scale of the invasion.Asked if he would have made the same decision as then-Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower did to invade France despite the certainty of so many deaths, Trump said he would. “We have what we have today because of things like that,” he said. “It’s very sad, but I would do it again.
