Trump declares a national holiday to celebrate World War II victory during worldwide celebrations.

President Trump made a plan. He wants the U.S. to celebrate World War II victory. Other countries in Europe already do this. They have parades and memorials.

Trump wants to honor the U.S. winning World War I and II. He thinks Americans should celebrate these wins more. He said the U.S. was very important in winning the wars. He said other countries celebrate, but the U.S. does not.

Trump wanted to rename November 11 as Victory Day for World War I. But it is already Veterans Day. Only Congress can change or make new federal holidays. So, Trump will 'declare' national holidays instead.

Trump signed a paper to make May 8, 2025, a day to celebrate World War II victory. He will also make a similar paper for World War I later. May 8 is not a day off from work this year. Only Congress can make official holidays, and Trump thinks there are too many already.

Trump did not say what will happen on these celebration days. Other countries have parades and flyovers. The Veterans of Foreign Wars are happy to see attention brought to veterans. There are not many World War II veterans still alive.
