Trump cancels military parade, blaming DC for cost

President Trump on Friday said that he was canceling plans for a military parade, blaming a $92 million price tag and local politicians in Washington, D.C.

The cost of the parade had appeared to be escalating, with reports on Thursday estimating it would be $80 million more than previously estimated at a time of rising debt. 

Trump said "local politicians" in D.C. were responsible for the cost in announcing the cancelation, though he offered no specific evidence.
