#U.S. media reveals that Trump is disappointed with the last military parade #[U.S. media: Trump is not satisfied with the Army parade, the U.S. Navy plans a larger celebration]#U.S. media reveals that the U.S. Navy will hold a grand celebration #The U.S. Navy is preparing for a luxury military parade #According to foreign media reports from the Wall Street Journal on the 27th, U.S. government sources revealed that the U.S. Navy is planning to hold a larger celebration this fall to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Navy's founding. This trend is believed to be related to U.S. President Trump's dissatisfaction with the Army military parade in June this year.
According to reports, the US Army held its largest military parade in decades in Washington, D.C. on June 14 to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Army's founding. The event cost about $30 million. The day coincided with Trump's 79th birthday. However, some soldiers marched at an uneven pace, related videos were widely circulated on social media, and there were fewer unique viewers on site than expected. Some media also photographed Trump "closing his eyes and resting" as he reviewed the troops.
According to reports, sources said that after the military parade, Trump told his aides that he was disappointed, and instead hoped that the Navy could present a "more grand scene", especially the "spectacular scene" displayed by ships at sea.
A spokesperson for the US Navy previously told USA Today that the Navy does not hold a military parade similar to the Army. According to the official website of the US Navy, since January this year, the Navy has carried out a series of activities to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the army, including senior officers' foreign exchanges, joint exercises and civil opening activities. It plans to continue to hold larger-scale commemorative activities next year, which will also be combined with the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States.
The report mentioned that Trump repeatedly promoted the holding of large-scale military parades during his first term as president, but failed to achieve it. After this year's Army parade, Trump administration officials denied media reports that the audience was far below estimates.
