WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has asked the Pentagon to plan a grand parade of the U.S. armed forces in Washington this year to celebrate military strength, officials said Tuesday. She said Trump wants the Pentagon to “explore a celebration” that will allow Americans to show appreciation for the military. Kirby said a big military parade in Washington is a bad idea. “First of all, the United States doesn’t need a parade down Pennsylvania or any other avenue to show our military strength,” he wrote. Trump reminisced about watching France’s Bastille Day military parade when he visited Paris in July.
