Trump notes other countries celebrate 'Victory Day,' but 'we’re the one that won the wars'
In his remarks, Trump noted that several countries hold annual celebrations to commemorate the victories in World War I and World War II while the U.S. typically did not participate in similar celebrations.
"They were all celebrating, we're the one that won the wars," Trump said, calling out France in particular.
Shortly after, he mentioned the United Kingdom and Russia as well.
"When I see other countries celebrating Victory Day — I watched it. I watched U.K., I watched Russia, they were celebrating Victory Day in World War II, and I said, 'We got to have a Victory Day,'" Trump said. "Nobody even talked about it in our country. But from now on, we're going to be celebrating Victory Day."
