"I am hereby renaming May 8th as Victory Day for World War II and November 11th as Victory Day for World War I," Donald Trump wrote in his Truth Social account.
"Many of our allies and friends are celebrating May 8th as Victory Day, but we did more than any other Country, by far, in producing a victorious result on World War II. I am hereby renaming May 8th as Victory Day for World War II and November 11th as Victory Day for World War I. We won both Wars, nobody was close to us in terms of strength, bravery, or military brilliance, but we never celebrate anything — That’s because we don’t have leaders anymore, that know how to do so! We are going to start celebrating our victories again!"
Although May 8th is declared the day of the US victory in Europe, it is not celebrated as a national holiday.
Note that on November 11, 1918, the Armistice of Compiègne was signed between the Allied Powers and Germany, bringing an end to World War I. That date, which has been included in the list of national holidays starting from 2026, began to be observed as Veterans Day in 1954.
