Trump demands speech after I-Day cleanup

U.S. President Donald Trump affirmed his determination to deliver his speech on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence in Washington, regardless of the circumstances, despite the bad weather that led to the cancellation of celebrations and the evacuation of thousands. The speech will be held at the National Mall at 11 p.m. local time, followed by a fireworks display. Attendees were also advised to seek shelter in nearby federal buildings due to severe storms. Trump commented on this by saying he would not let the rain stop the celebration. He visited the site at Mount Rushmore, where he delivered a speech from the sculptures depicting four American presidents, to bolster his presence for the national occasion.
