US EditionTrump says he wants to rename Veterans Day to ‘Victory Day for World War I’

- Congress changed the name to Veterans Day in 1954 after veterans groups requested a holiday honoring all US veterans, including those from modern conflicts.

- Trump expressed that numerous international partners observe May 8 as Victory Day and emphasized the importance of renewing recognition for past military successes; however, he did not clarify whether he intends for May 8 to be designated an official federal holiday.
