Donald Trump orders Pentagon to plan grand military parade

• irishtimes.com

Donald Trump has ordered the Pentagon to plan a military parade that would see soldiers marching and tanks rolling down the streets of Washington, it was reported on Tuesday.

The move was instantly criticised, with one veterans' group comparing the US president to "a wannabe banana republic strongman".

Mr Trump is seeking a grand parade similar to the Bastille Day celebration in Paris, according to the Washington Post.

He outlined the plan at a meeting at the Pentagon on January 18th that included defence secretary Jim Mattis and joint chiefs of staff chairman Gen Joseph Dunford, the paper said, citing an unnamed military official.

"The marching orders were: I want a parade like the one in France," the official told the Post. "This is being worked at the highest levels of the military."
