A grand Donald Trump parade, scheduled for Friday, June 14, will not only celebrate the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary but will also fall on the 79th birthday of U.S. President Donald Trump. Although officials stress that the event is a formal tribute to the Army's historic legacy, the convergence of dates has led to widespread public interest, with many dubbing it the unofficial Trump birthday celebration.The military procession will begin at 6:30 p.m. ET, traversing six blocks of Constitution Avenue NW in central Washington, D.C. The route stretches from 23rd Street NW to 15th Street NW, passing key national landmarks and ending near the National Museum of African American History and Culture, as mentioned in a report by USA Today.President Trump is expected to view the march from a dedicated stand positioned on Constitution Avenue, near the White House.

A fitness challenge, open to the public, will take place between 9:30 a.m. and noon, as per a report by USA Today.Prominent guests from sports and entertainment, including NFL players and social media influencers, are also scheduled to participate in meet-and-greet sessions. Among the featured performers are country artists Scotty Hasting and Noah Hicks, alongside DJ Nyla Symone.A significant segment of the evening program involves a parachute demonstration by the elite Golden Knights, followed by a fireworks show and evening concert. President Trump is also expected to attend a military enlistment and re-enlistment ceremony after the parade concludes.While the scale of the event is considerable, other military branches like the Navy and Marine Corps — both also marking 250 years in 2025, have not announced comparable parades. A Navy spokesperson confirmed no similar celebration is planned for its October milestone.Those wishing to attend in person must RSVP in advance, providing their name, contact details, state and ZIP code.

However, since it coincides with U.S. President Donald Trump's 79th birthday, it has also been widely regarded as an unofficial birthday celebration for the President.The military parade is scheduled for Friday, June 14, starting at 6:30 p.m. ET.

Trump backs call to arrest California governor Newsom over border row
Newsom, a Democrat, responded that he hoped he would never see the day that a president called for the arrest of a sitting governor in the United States Reuters Los Angeles US President Donald Trump on Monday said he would support the arrest of California Governor Gavin Newsom over possible obstruction of his administration's immigration enforcement measures amid protests in the state. Trump border czar Tom Homan on Saturday threatened to arrest anyone who obstructed enforcement efforts in the state, including Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. Both sharply criticized the Republican president's deployment of National Guard troops to Los Angeles. "I would do it if I were Tom. I think it's great. Gavin likes the publicity but I think it would be a great thing," Trump said when he returned to the White House. Newsom, a Democrat, responded that he hoped he would never see the day that a president called for the arrest of a sitting governor in the United States. "I don't care if you're a Democrat or a Republican this is a line we cannot cross as a nation this is an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism," Newsom said in a post on X.

Karma on the stairs? Trump stumbles months after ridiculing Biden's slip
Source: X/@armslist What goes around, comes around—sometimes in the form of a misstep. On Sunday, President Donald Trump found himself the subject of online mockery after stumbling on the steps of Air Force One—an ironic twist considering his past ridicule of Joe Biden for doing the same. The brief misstep in Morristown, New Jersey, was quickly recovered, but not before cameras caught the moment and social media users had a field day calling it "stair karma." The stumble happened as President Trump boarded Air Force One at Morristown Municipal Airport, heading back to Washington, D.C., after weekend engagements. Gripping the handrail with his right hand, Trump's left foot caught the edge of a step. He faltered briefly, bracing himself with a quick touch of the stairs, and then continued up without incident. Though it lasted just a second, the moment immediately sparked chatter online—mainly because of Trump's previous jabs at Biden's own stumbles. Source: X/@armslist To add to the awkwardness, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who was accompanying Trump on the flight to Camp David, also tripped on the same set of stairs while boarding. Both recovered quickly, but the double misstep did not go unnoticed. When Trump mocked Biden's fall Trump's stumble drew comparisons to Biden's own high-profile trips—and Trump's sharp criticisms of them. In 2023, Trump mocked Biden after the latter fell at the U.S. Air Force Academy graduation in Colorado, calling it 'not inspiring' while also saying, 'I hope he wasn't hurt… You don't want that.' Back in 2020, Trump defended himself for walking cautiously down a ramp at West Point, likening it to 'an ice-skating rink.' He explained at the time, 'The whole thing is crazy… even if you have to tip-toe down a ramp, you don't want that.' In another speech from the campaign trail, Trump jabbed: 'Joe Biden can't even walk up a flight of stairs on Air Force One and he can't put two sentences together.' The incident this week has prompted critics to throw Trump's own words back at him. Source: X/@armslist Social media was quick to remark on this. One user said, 'That looks like the exact same spot President Biden tripped. Those stairs are fired!' A second user, 'Fix the stairs for heavens sake. Is this intentional or just blatant lazy negligence in the maintenance department?' A third user, 'Rubio reading the terrain and taking another one for the team! Love that guy!!'

US-China talks in London: Rare earths, export curbs on table
Talks between the US and China kicked off in London on Monday, with the US signaling a willingness to remove restrictions on exports in exchange for assurances that China is easing limits on rare earth shipments. The Trump administration expects that "after the handshake" in London, any export controls from the US will be eased and rare earths will be released by China, Kevin Hassett , head of the at the White House's National Economic Council, told CNBC. It was the clearest signal yet that the US is willing to offer such a concession. The first round of negotiations since the teams met a month ago is aimed at restoring confidence that both are living up to commitments made in Geneva. During those discussions, Washington and Beijing agreed to lower crippling tariffs for 90 days to allow time to hammer out ways to address a trade imbalance that the Trump administration blames on an unfair playing field. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Windows Users Don't Forget To Do This Before Monday Read More Undo Aim is to Dodge Clash The confusion after the Geneva meeting about China's rare earth export-permitting process, combined with US limits on tech shipments and Washington's recent crackdown on Chinese student visas, underscore the complexity of deal-making between China and the US. Live Events "They left too many things open to interpretation," said Josh Lipsky , chair of international economics at the Atlantic Council. The US and China "just want to get back to where they were in Switzerland with a few more agreements down on paper to understand what is gonna be licensed, what gets permitted, what doesn't," he added. A phone call last week between President Donald Trump and his counterpart Xi Jinping appeared to give fresh momentum to reviving talks and reaching a deal. On Monday at London's Lancaster HouseUS Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer will meet a Chinese delegation led by Vice Premier He Lifeng. The addition of Lutnick, who's in charge of curbs on the sale of advanced technology, signals Trump may be willing to consider reversing some of the restrictions that threaten to hobble China's long-term growth ambitions, ranging from tech supplies to jet engine parts.
