President Donald Trump hosted the military’s largest parade in decades in Washington DC, marking 250 years of the US Army
The Republican president said America was the “hottest country in the world” and would “soon be greater and stronger than ever before”
The parade – which fell on Trump’s 79th birthday – involved nearly 7,000 soldiers, flyovers, and fireworks
Thousands attended the parade in the nation’s capital, although rain seemed to dampen turnout
Anti-Trump groups staged hundreds of demonstrations across the country to coincide with the parade
The “No Kings” protests from Los Angeles to Boston were the largest against the president since he was re-elected
Some protests in Minnesota were called off after the assassination of a Democratic lawmaker, which the state’s governor said was politically motivated. [BBC]
