US EditionMilitary Parade Set to Kick Off in Nation's Capital as Protesters Around US Decry Trump
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, UNITED STATES, JUN 14 – The $25-45 million parade featured over 6,000 troops, tanks, and aircraft to honor the Army's 250th anniversary amid widespread protests against Trump's policies.
- A massive military parade requested by President Donald Trump took place on June 14, 2025, in Washington, D.C., honoring the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary and coinciding with Trump's 79th birthday.
- Trump sought this parade for years, inspired by a 2017 Bastille Day military event in Paris, with the parade added only two months prior to the longstanding Army birthday celebration.
- The event featured about 6,600 soldiers, 50 helicopters, 128 tanks and armored vehicles, a 21-gun salute, and was expected to draw up to 200,000 attendees amid heightened security and possible rain.
- Protests against Trump, branding him a dictator or would-be king, unfolded nationwide in hundreds of cities under the 'No Kings' theme, while roughly 6 in 10 Americans considered the parade an improper use of up to $45 million government funds.
- The parade and associated demonstrations underscore ongoing political divisions, as Trump’s use of military displays for political purposes has drawn both public criticism and significant opposition protests.
