Military parade to honour US Army will fall on Trump's birthday2 days ago Share Save Bernd Debusmann Jr BBC News, Washington Share SaveGetty ImagesThe White House has confirmed a military parade will be held to mark the US Army's 250th anniversary on 14 June, which falls on the same day as President Donald Trump's birthday. Trump first floated a military parade during his first term, but he scrapped the idea after reports it would have cost about $90 million (£71m). He first proposed a military parade for Veterans Day in 2018. He said he wanted the US to "top" France's Bastille Day parade, which he attended on a visit to Paris in 2017. The days mark the end of World War I in 1918 and Germany's surrender to the allies in 1945, respectively.
