President Donald Trump proposed renaming Veterans Day to "Victory Day for World War I" and Victory in Europe Day on May 8th to "Victory in World War II Day" to emphasize and celebrate American military accomplishments. Trump believes the US played a significant role in winning World War II and should take pride in its achievements. However, the suggestion has faced criticism for potentially overshadowing the original purpose of honoring all American veterans on Veterans Day. Additionally, Trump's focus on US contributions to World War II may draw criticism from nations like Russia, which suffered significant losses during the conflict.
