US EditionTrump says he wants to rename Veterans Day to ‘Victory Day for World War I’
- On May 2, 2025, President Donald Trump shared on Truth Social his intention to change the name of Veterans Day to "Victory Day for World War I" and to designate May 8 as "Victory Day for World War II."
- Trump made this announcement to emphasize American contributions to both world wars, while Veterans Day currently honors veterans of all U.S. Conflicts and originated from Armistice Day in 1938.
- May 8 commemorates Germany's surrender in 1945, celebrated as VE Day by U.S. Allies, but it is not a federal holiday in the United States, unlike Veterans Day observed on November 11.
- Trump noted that while many allied nations mark May 8th as Victory Day, the United States contributed more than any other country to achieving victory in World War II, yet he added that Americans do not typically celebrate such achievements.
- The renaming proposal lacks legislative action, and its impact remains unclear, though Trump said he wants to 'start celebrating our victories again' amid ongoing debates on how to honor these days.
