Although the US Army’s 250th anniversary celebration was tainted by a day of violence and strife, President Donald Trump’s long-awaited military procession made its way through downtown Washington on Saturday.
The largest protests against Trump’s policies since his return to power in January took place in the hours leading up to the parade, with hundreds of thousands of Americans marching and gathering in streets around the country, from New York to Chicago to Los Angeles.
A gunman in Minnesota earlier in the day killed a Democratic congressman, injured another, and is still at large.
Early Sunday saw more assaults between Israel and Iran, which heightened concerns about escalating hostilities between the two countries.
