Voice of America: VOA Special Program for the 250th Anniversary of the Founding of the United States - President Trump's National Day Speech (Simultaneous Interpretation)

U.S. President Trump delivered a National Day speech in Washington for the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. The speech was delayed by more than an hour due to weather, but still attracted a large crowd. The address emphasized America's great achievements, the spirit of freedom, and its status as a world leader.

On the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, the U.S. Navy Blue Angels flight demonstration squadron led over a hundred military aircraft in a spectacular air show over Manhattan, trailing red, white, and blue smoke as they flew over New York Harbor and the Statue of Liberty.

Over the National Mall in Washington, more than 125 top US and allied military aircraft conducted a seven-hour flight demonstration, showcasing advanced models including the F-22, F-35, B-2, and B-52, along with a high-altitude parachute performance by the US Army Golden Knights.

U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance attended and spoke aboard the USS Bataan, an amphibious assault ship in New York Harbor. He criticized those who find fault with America's imperfections, emphasized unity, and called on the American people to create future glory. The event included a parade of sail and a flyover by naval aircraft.
