Celebration of the 250th Anniversary of the U.S. Army and Protests Against Trump

• Washington is preparing to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army with a military parade.
• Protests against the Trump administration are planned in over 1,500 cities.
• Weather may impact the event, with possible thunderstorms on parade day.

This is reported by The Independent, BBC.

Washington, D.C. is gearing up for a military parade to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. This event coincides with President Donald Trump's 79th birthday, who stated that the parade would be "unlike any other."

The parade is scheduled for Saturday, June 14, at 6:00 PM local time. More than 7,000 service members, dozens of tanks and military vehicles, as well as musical bands and fireworks are expected to participate.

The cost of the event is estimated to be between $25 and $45 million. Part of the budget will go towards repairing Washington's streets, which are not designed for heavy vehicles.

However, on the same day, protests under the slogan "No Kings" against the Trump administration are also planned. These actions will take place in over 1,500 cities across the U.S., representing a "national day of defiance" against government corruption.

The organizers of the protests believe that the president wants to showcase power through the parade, but true power is found in the people.

The last military parade in the U.S. took place in 1991 during the presidency of George H.W. Bush to celebrate the end of the Gulf War. At that time, the streets were filled with about 200,000 people.

The parade on June 14 promises to be grand, but bad weather may affect the event. Thunderstorms are forecasted in Washington, which could lead to the cancellation or postponement of the parade.
