According to The Verge, U.S. President Trump will lead a military parade on June 14 (his 79th birthday) to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the establishment of the U.S. Army, with partial funding from major tech companies such as Coinbase, Amazon, Oracle, and Palantir.

The parade is hosted by the nonprofit organization America250, as designated by Congress, with a budget of up to $45 million. Although it is named to celebrate military history, it is criticized for being tied to Trump's personal political image, and the tech industry's funding has raised public relations risks and public opinion controversies.
