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.
