On Saturday, US President Donald Trump will travel to the National Mall in Washington, DC, for what he has described as a “spectacular rally” honoring America’s 250th anniversary. As a scorching heatwave engulfs large portions of the eastern and central United States, the celebration will feature hundreds of aircraft flyovers and what organizers hope will be the largest fireworks show ever.
Military flyovers over Washington DC will happen every hour between 13:15 local time (17:15 GMT) and sunset, the organisers said, and Trump’s new Air Force One will participate in one of the formations over the capital.
However, opponents have accused the president of politicizing the country’s anniversary celebration, and a number of musical acts withdrew shortly after the announcement. Extremely hot, humid temperatures of roughly 38C (100F) and a later-than-anticipated start time may also have an impact on the size of the crowd that comes. There is also the chance for evening thunderstorms that might interrupt the activities, which have been arranged by a White House-backed public-private collaboration.
