US EditionTrump’s Military Parade Receives Financial Backing From Big Tech
- President Donald Trump planned a grand military parade on June 14, 2025, in Washington, D.C., to celebrate the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary and his 79th birthday.
- The parade follows a tradition of U.S. military celebrations after decisive victories but faces questions over costs and controversy about the America250 group's perceived politicization.
- America250, founded in 2019 and backed by a bipartisan caucus, organizes events supported by sponsors including Amazon and Coinbase, while Meta has paused sponsorship but explores future partnerships.
- The military parade is set to include around 50 planes, 150 vehicles, and approximately 6,000 troops, with estimated costs ranging from $25 million to $45 million, even as polls indicate that nearly two-thirds of Americans oppose federal funding for the event.
- The event marks a major patriotic celebration with VIP experiences promised to top donors, but criticism continues over the parade’s alignment with political interests and public spending priorities.
