“Peanuts compared to the value”

President Donald Trump told NBC News that he planned to celebrate several events this year to celebrate US military victories, including a “big, beautiful” military parade in Washington, DC, to commemorate the flag day, which also falls on his birthday.

“My birthday is happening on the flag day,” said Trump in a far-reaching interview in Mar-A-Lago, which was broadcast on Sunday, in a far-reaching interview in Mar-A-Lago to NBC News' Meet the Press “.” I see it for the Flag Day, not necessarily my birthday. Someone put it together. But no, I think we will maybe do something or somewhere there nearby. But I think June 14th. It's a very important day. “

The parade will not be cheap.

Defense officers informed the NBC News that the estimated costs could be up to 45 million US dollars, whereby the individual army units could ultimately bear the costs of the parade – which could possibly be used for training.

Trump said it would be worth it.

“Peanuts compared to the value,” said Trump about the costs. “We have the biggest rockets in the world. We have the largest U -boats in the world. We have the largest army tanks in the world. We have the biggest weapons in the world. And we will celebrate them.”

The event, which will also mark the 250th birthday of the army, is expected to include 6,600 soldiers, said a spokesman for the army.

Defense officers who are familiar with the planning stated that they also include more than 50 aircraft and 150 military vehicles, including cycling vehicles such as Humvees and trucks as well as so -called persecuted vehicles such as tanks.

The military parade is just one of several events that Trump said that he intends to organize the success of the American war this year.

Trump said he was inspired after talking to French President Emmanuel Macron about the celebrations on the victory in Europe to remind you of the end of the Second World War. He said he celebrated on separate days to remind you of the end of the two world wars.

Trump said an earlier conversation with Macron and remembered: “We had more to do with the winning of the Second World War than in any other nation. Why don't we have a victory?” So we will have a victory for the First World War and for the Second World War. “

“If you know when you look at Russia, they celebrate the day of the victory,” he had previously noticed.

“I think you can have two days,” said Trump. “That doesn't mean that we do not work and have no national holiday and have all of this because we don't have many of these days. You know that our country will eventually become all national holidays.”

When Welker pushed more details about these celebrations, Trump turned back to the flag day and did not enter into details.

The United States officially claims on November 11, 1918, the day on which a ceasefire with Germany was signed as the end of the First World War on September 2, 1945 when the USA accepted Japan's handover, the date, which was determined as the end of the Second World War.

Trump also revealed his plans to convert the white house, starting with the replacement of grass in the rose garden with a “beautiful stone surface”.

“We had the Indian Prime Minister here and they had a lot of press and the women went out with their shoes full of mud. So we can't have that,” said Trump.

The renovation work will also include the effort to build a ballroom in the east wing of the White House with existing meeting rooms. It would partially be used to house world leaders.

“Do you know when she is a party for when the boss of China comes in, or the leader of someone like you have something,” said Trump.

Trump noticed that he built a ballroom in his property in Mar-A-Lago and said that his background as a real estate developer made him unique to carry out the renovation of the White House.

He said Welker that he planned to finance the efforts himself.

“Yes, I will not ask the government for money. I will finance it and I am sure we will have a few donations for it. But it's not a inexpensive thing. It will cost a lot of money,” said Trump and added that “it will be something really nice, at the top of the line.”
