Trump to deliver speech on America’s 250th anniversary

President Donald Trump said he will go ahead with a Fourth of July address in Washington despite severe thunderstorms. The speech is tied to the nation’s 250th anniversary celebration and is expected to focus on American history and notable heroes. The event, part of the Salute to America program on the National Mall, was delayed because of weather. A White House official said the timing could shift, but organizers still planned for Trump to speak later in the evening before fireworks. Trump said in a Fox News call that he would deliver the speech no matter the conditions. He also used social media to praise the crowds in Washington and describe the country as stronger than ever.
