Trump’s late July 4 remarks scramble D.C. fireworks schedule
TL;DR Summary
Trump’s late-night July 4 speech on the National Mall is delaying Washington, D.C.’s fireworks show, with officials signaling a later start amid scorching heat and tight security. Freedom 250 aims to fire about 850,000 shells over 40 minutes, but the exact start time is fluid and could slip to 11 p.m. or later, potentially even past midnight if weather or security constraints bite.
