The U.S. Navy will hold a grand celebration # The U.S. Navy is preparing a luxurious parade # According to the Wall Street Journal and other foreign media reports on 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.
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.
After the parade, Trump told aides that he was disappointed and instead hoped for a "grander picture" from the Navy, especially the "spectacle" displayed by the ships at sea, according to the sources.
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 had repeatedly pushed for a massive parade during his first presidential term, but failed to do so.After the Army parade this year, officials in the Trump administration denied that the number of spectators was much lower than the media.
