Pentagon: Trump’s Military Parade Might Not Be In DC

Reuters reports:

The Pentagon on Thursday said it was not certain that the Washington-area would host a parade requested by President Donald Trump to honor the U.S. military.

“We don’t know that. There are options and we will explore those and the president will ultimately decide,” said Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White, adding that the U.S. Army was taking the lead in creating options for the event.

The White House has asked the Pentagon to explore a celebration of “America’s great service members,” after the Republican president marveled at the Bastille Day military parade he attended in Paris last year. Critics have argued that a parade could cost millions of dollars, at a time the Pentagon wants more stable funding for an overstretched military.
