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.
The US President added that “maybe” the event would be held next year and stated that now the country can “buy some more jet fighters.”
