Pentagon Delays Plans for Trump's Military Parade
-------------------------------------------------

The Pentagon said Thursday it will delay a military parade ordered by
President Trump until at least 2019. The announcement came just hours
after news broke that the estimated cost of meeting Trump's request had
skyrocketed-from $12 million to $92 million. The parade, originally
scheduled for Washington, D.C., on November 10-Veteran's Day-was to
feature armored vehicles, soldiers in period uniforms, and flyovers by
military aircraft. Trump ordered the parade after he attended a Bastille
Day celebration in France last year with President Emmanuel Macron.
