US EditionMilitary Parade Set to Kick Off in Nation's Capital as Protesters Around US Decry Trump
- On Saturday, June 14, 2025, Washington D.C. hosted a military parade commemorating the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary and President Trump's 79th birthday.
- President Trump requested the parade to fulfill his long-standing desire for a grand military display after viewing a similar event in Paris in 2017.
- The parade included approximately 6,169 soldiers, 128 tanks and armored vehicles, 62 aircraft overhead, and concluded with the oath-taking ceremony of 250 new recruits and returning service members, all conducted under strict security measures and potential stormy weather.
- A poll found 78% of Americans neither approved nor disapproved of the parade, while about 60% said it was not a good use of government money, estimated at up to $45 million.
- Concurrent nationwide 'No Kings' protests opposing Trump's agenda unfolded across nearly 2,000 locations, with organizers pledging to counter what they viewed as authoritarianism amid warnings of forceful responses.
