President Donald Trump celebrated his birthday in a big way on Sunday, June 14, and revealed what he wants as a present.
President Trump answered questions from reporters while signing the National Security Act in the Oval Office on June 10. President Trump was asked what his birthday wish was, besides peace in the Middle East.
He thought for a moment and then answered, “Peace to the world!” President Trump also said that his New Year’s resolution for 2026 is “world peace.”
Earlier this year, the US military captured Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and his wife in a surprise attack in January. A few months later, the United States and Israel bombed Iran in an ongoing conflict. He began his remarks by pledging to continue a “very tough offensive” in response to Iran’s downing of a U.S. Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump continues to insist that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons.
UFC Fight Night is scheduled at the White House on President Trump’s birthday
President Trump will turn 80 on June 14th. On his birthday this year, an Ultimate Fighting Championship event will be held on the South Lawn of the White House.
The arena has been raised in recent weeks to be taller than the roof of the White House, and President Trump said it could hold about 5,000 spectators.
President Trump said the night’s fight would be “the biggest event ever held at the White House.” It was planned as part of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the country.
Last year, on President Trump’s birthday, which also happens to be Flag Day, he attended a military parade and celebration to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the Army. His administration claimed it was a coincidence.
