"You know, I was recently at an event, and I saw France was celebrating Victor Day but we didn't. And I saw France was celebrating another Victory Day for World War II, and other countries were celebrating. They were all celebrating we're the one that won the wars! And I said, from now on, we're going to say Victory Day for World War I and World War II, and we could do [it] for plenty of other wars. But we'll start with those two."
"More than one century following the end of World War I, we honor the valiant American Service members whose victory sent a resounding message to the entire world: No tyranny can topple the strength of the American military, no nation can compete with the power of American industry, and no adversary can withstand the unwavering vigor of the American spirit."
President Donald Trump announced the United States will observe Victory Day for World War I and World War II, arguing the U.S. had "won the wars" and noting other countries already mark such days. President Trump noted France, Russia, and the United Kingdom celebrate Victory Day while the U.S. did not, and declared that the Trump administration would institute the observance. The remarks occurred during a Veterans Day speech at Arlington National Cemetery and drew chuckles and applause. The White House also released a statement commemorating the centenary of World War I and praising American military, industrial, and patriotic strength.
