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. The Washington Post, which was first to report the plan, said Trump wants an elaborate parade this year with soldiers marching and tanks rolling, but no date has been selected. 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. Trump reminisced about watching France’s Bastille Day military parade when he visited Paris in July.
