New details have emerged about the giant military spectacle President Donald Trump has ordered to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army and his own 79th birthday on June 14. According to reports, the cost of the event is said to have skyrocketed as high as $45m.
The president’s ambitious plans are understood to include a parade running from Arlington, Virginia, across the Potomac River and into Washington. The parade would pay tribute to the Army’s history, from the Revolutionary War to the present day, and feature soldiers marching in period uniforms.
