WASHINGTON – President Trump confirmed Thursday that he’ll make the trip to Normandy for the 75th anniversary of D-Day.
“I’ll be there,” he said in the Oval Office during a meeting with World War II veterans.
In March, Le Parisien reported that Trump was scheduled to attend the June 6 event that commemorates when the allies landed on the Normandy coast in northern France.
Trump will likely head to the United Kingdom, too.
The Sunday Times reported that Queen Elizabeth planned to invite Trump for a full state visit marking the 75th anniversary.
The president’s trip to England last year was considered a working visit, so this would be an upgrade.
Trump has already been to France twice — the first time for Bastille Day in 2017, where he was so impressed by France’s military parade that he called for a similar march in the US.
He returned in November 2018.
