Trump to celebrate 79th birthday with military parade in Washington
The event will coincide with the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. Parade route: from the Pentagon to the White House.
Donald Trump is planning a large-scale military parade to mark his 79th birthday on June 14. The date also coincides with the 250th anniversary of the founding of the U.S. Army, adding symbolic weight to the event in the eyes of Trump supporters.
According to Washington City Paper, preparations are already underway, although plans are still in the coordination stage. Sources familiar with the project say the parade will run from the Pentagon in Arlington to the White House — a distance of about 6.5 kilometers.
Trump has long floated the idea of such a parade. In 2018, during his first term, he attempted to organize one, but the event was canceled after objections from the military and local officials. The Department of Defense estimated costs at $92 million, and Washington officials raised concerns about potential damage to city infrastructure.
Now, during his second term, Trump appears determined to see it through. The parade is expected to serve not only as a celebration of the Army's anniversary and his birthday but also as a political statement reflecting his emphasis on national defense and military strength.
Local authorities are being gradually informed of the plans, and no opposition from the Pentagon has been reported so far. The full list of participants, military equipment, and program details will be released closer to the event.
