Trump said on his Truth Social platform Thursday night that he is renaming November 11 as Victory Day for World War I. Trump also declared May 8 as Victory Day for World War II.

Veterans Day began as Armistice Day to mark 11:11 a.m. Nov. 11, 1918, when the Allies and the Central Powers agreed to end World War I.

President Trump said Thursday that he would rename May 8, widely known as V-E Day, as “Victory Day for World War II,” so that the United States could celebrate its achievements in that conflict.

Veterans Day is otherwise celebrated annually on November 11. Meanwhile, May 8 is recognised as Victory in Europe Day in several European countries, but it is not a federal holiday in the US.

He also said he's pushing to recognize May 8 as "Victory Day for World War II." "We are going to start celebrating our victories again!" Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social.
