DC's National Airport will close during Army's June 14 party

Yahoo05-06-2025

Reagan Washington National Airport will close during the U.S. Army's June 14 celebration, which will feature a large-scale military parade.
'To accommodate aircraft flyovers along the parade route, followed by a fireworks display, the Federal Aviation Administration is expected to suspend airline operations at DCA — affecting scheduled flights,' an alert on the airport's website reads.
'Customers with flight reservations for the evening of June 14 should check the status of their flights directly with their airline,' the alert continues.
The Army is set to celebrate 250 years of service on June 14 with an expansive military parade through Washington, D.C. The festivities have been planned for years, but they are set to include much more and didn't originally include the parade.
June 14 is also President Trump's 79th birthday, and the president had hoped for a grand military parade during his first four years in office; however, the plan was put aside due to high costs. Next week's parade is expected to cost between $25 million and $45 million.
The parade, featuring an array of military equipment, is set to begin at the Pentagon at 6 p.m. Steven Warren, deputy chief from the Army's Office of the Chief of Public Affairs, said previously that 'an extensive flyover' will also occur during the parade.
'More than 50 helicopters will participate, including 64 Apaches, 60 Black Hawks and 47 Chinooks,' Warren said previously.

Donald Trump Calls Green Tax Credits in 'Big Beautiful Bill' 'Scam'

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. President Donald Trump criticized his own federal budget legislation in a post on Truth Social Saturday. "I HATE 'GREEN TAX CREDITS' IN THE GREAT, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL," the president said, adding "They are largely a giant SCAM." The bill, which includes $4.9 trillion package packed with tax breaks, budget cuts and new Medicaid work requirements, made it past the House last month in a close 215-214 vote, with two Republicans breaking ranks to vote "no," Newsweek previously reported. The next hurdle, opposition and infighting in the Senate. Now, Trump has stated even he has problems with outlined initiatives. "I would much prefer that this money be used somewhere else, including reductions. 'Anywhere' would be preferable!" Trump exclaimed. "Windmills, and the rest of this "JUNK," are the most expensive and inefficient energy in the world, is destroying the beauty of the environment, and is 10 times more costly than any other energy," the President explained, adding "None of it works without massive government subsidy (energy should NOT NEED SUBSIDY!). Also, it is almost exclusively made in China!!! It is time to break away, finally, from this craziness!!!" This is a breaking news story. Updates to come.
