U.S. President Donald Trump has declared May 8 as Victory Day for World War II and November 11 for World War I, claiming the United States played the most decisive role in winning both wars and vowing to revive national celebrations of military triumph.
U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the United States contributed more than any other country to achieving victory in World War II. In a message posted on Truth Social, he announced the introduction of national Victory Days.
"Many of our allies and friends are celebrating May 8 as Victory Day, but the U.S. did far more than any other country to secure a victorious outcome in World War II," Trump wrote. "I am officially renaming May 8 as Victory Day for World War II, and November 11 as Victory Day for World War I."
The president emphasized that the U.S. emerged victorious in both world wars, yet fails to properly celebrate these accomplishments. "We won both wars—no other country came close to us in strength, bravery, or military brilliance. But we don't celebrate anything anymore, because we lack leaders who know how to do it," he said. "That will change. We’re going to start celebrating our victories again!"
