U.S. Marks 250th Anniversary of Independence with Trump Speech and Fireworks

The United States marked its 250th anniversary of independence and founding on July 4, local time.

To commemorate the 250th anniversary, a "Salute to America" event is being held at the National Mall, the grassy park connecting the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C.

Following a flyover by U.S. Air Force aircraft, an air show, and large-scale performances by military bands and honor guards, President Trump is scheduled to deliver a keynote speech starting at 9:45 p.m.

President Trump, who has dubbed this event a "Trump Rally," is expected to emphasize the achievements of the United States in his speech while asserting that his administration has made America great again.
