Donald Trump is planning to hold a grand military parade on the streets of Washington DC on his birthday, January 14. The event, expected to cost around 100 million dollars, coincides with the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army.
According to a report by the Washington City newspaper, confirmed by a source in Washington, the parade is planned to start from the Pentagon building, traverse the streets of the capital, and reach the White House.
The ceremony is expected to showcase not only the elite military units of the U.S. but also battle tanks, heavy military equipment, aircraft, and missiles. The event, which is anticipated to be watched by thousands, aims to display the military power of the United States.
This is not Trump's first attempt to plan such an event. Influenced by the military ceremony organized by French President Emmanuel Macron in 2017, Trump had said, "We will have to work to surpass this." However, the ceremony planned at that time, estimated to cost 91 million dollars, was canceled due to objections from local officials and military leaders.
Experts note that such military displays are unusual in the capital, Washington DC, and pose significant logistical challenges. The city's narrow streets and historic buildings create various obstacles for the passage of heavy military vehicles.
Officials from the Pentagon and the White House have not yet made an official statement regarding the plan.
