US EditionTrump Praises Military Force at US Army’s 250th Anniversary Parade
- President Donald Trump attended a military parade in Washington, DC, on June 14, 2025, marking the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary and his 79th birthday.
- The parade was planned over two years and aimed to showcase the Army's history and strength despite inclement weather and nationwide protests led by the No Kings movement.
- The event featured about 6,600 troops, 150 vehicles including tanks and Bradley fighting vehicles, over 50 aircraft, and historic units like the 82nd Airborne Division in period uniforms.
- The parade's expenses, estimated to range from $25 million up to $45 million, drew criticism from Senator Bernie Sanders and raised concerns from Senator Rand Paul, who cautioned that the event might resemble military displays typical of the Soviet era.
- The event was designed to enhance troop recruitment and boost morale, as highlighted by Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, and ended with Trump commending the Army as an exceptionally strong, courageous, and formidable military force.
