US President Donald Trump yesterday announced his cancellation of a military parade in Washington, DC after finding out the high cost.
“The local politicians who run Washington, DC (poorly) know a windfall when they see it,”Trump said in a statement a day after the Pentagon announced that it would postpone the event for at least a year due to the price tag.
”When asked to give us a price for holding a great celebratory military parade, they wanted a number so ridiculously high that I cancelled it. Never let someone hold you up!” Trump said on his Twitter handle.
