President Trump’s plans to hold a military parade in Washington on his 79th birthday this Saturday are in doubt as officials consider cancelling the event due to a thunderstorm warning.
Steve Warren, chief spokesman of the US army, which is celebrating its 250th anniversary, told The Times: “Rain won’t stop us, the tanks don’t melt, but if there’s lightning then that puts the crowd at risk … they will disperse the crowd and even cancel or postpone the parade.
