A military parade takes place in the United States on the streets of downtown Washington on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the American Army.
For President Donald Trump's parade, which coincided with his 79th birthday, thousands of spectators gathered to watch the parade that began with a brass band.
Trump watched from a raised platform and cheered when his name was called. The president has long wanted to hold a military-style parade in the United States, but such events have been rare in American history.
As celebrations for the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army wrapped up in Washington, D.C., a crowd of protesters confronted Trump supporters near the exit of the military parade. A parade participant displayed a 'Trump/Vance' flag as protesters jeered him.
Earlier in the day, thousands of people marched in Washington and other cities to protest Trump's policies. The demonstrations were largely peaceful and marked the largest outburst of opposition to Trump's presidency since he returned to power in January.
Anti-Trump groups planned nearly 2,000 demonstrations across the country to coincide with the parade. Many of them were held under the theme "No King," asserting that no individual is above the law. (A2 Televizion)
