Trump’s July 4 Fireworks Face Heat, Attendance, and Pollution Scrutiny

A Daily Beast report reveals Trump’s planned July 4 fireworks show in Washington, D.C. could cause hazardous air pollution and “very unhealthy” conditions due to the roughly 850,000 fireworks launched from 10 sites. Health guidance from the National Park Service urges people to avoid prolonged outdoor exposure and consider wearing N95 masks. The fireworks’ start time was delayed into late evening to accommodate a long presidential speech amid a heat wave already pushing temperatures above 100°F, while security around the National Mall remains tight and turnout concerns persist for what is billed as the largest display in U.S. history.
