US EditionTrump says he wants to rename Veterans Day to ‘Victory Day for World War I’
- President Donald Trump announced on May 2, 2025, his intention to rename Veterans Day to Victory Day for World War I and to celebrate May 8 as Victory Day for World War II.
- Trump's announcement follows Veterans Day's origin as Armistice Day, established by Congress in 1938 to honor World War I veterans and world peace, which became Veterans Day in 1954 to include veterans of all U.S. Wars.
- Trump expressed that the U.S. Surpassed all other countries in strength and military success in both World Wars, criticized current leaders for not properly celebrating victories, and highlighted that many allies observe May 8 as Victory Day.
- Veterans Day is a federal holiday observed on November 11, marking the end of World War I fighting in 1918, while May 8, known as V-E Day, commemorates the end of World War II in Europe but is not a federal holiday in the U.S.
- Trump's proposal to rename Veterans Day and promote Victory Day celebrations could start renewed recognition of U.S. Military achievements, though it remains unclear if May 8 will become a federal holiday or how celebrations will be conducted.
