The President of the United States, Donald Trump, has decreed that Americans will henceforth mark two extra national holidays.
It was alleged that Trump made the remark in a post on his Truth Social platform late Monday.
The American President proclaimed November 11 and May 8 as national holidays remembering the end of World War I and World War II, respectively and the country’s successes during the wars.
He, however, underlined that the holidays would not involve time off work for federal employees.

“We won two world wars, but we never took credit for them; everyone else did! “All over the world, the Allies are commemorating the victory we achieved in WWII,” Trump wrote.
He questioned what he saw as a lack of national credit for these historic military achievements.
“The only country that doesn’t celebrate the World War I and World War II is the U.S.,” asserted the historian. While underlining that the announcement would not require employees to take time off work.
“We will not be closing the country for these two very important Holidays, November 11 and May 8,” a spokesperson stated.
The White House has yet to publish an official proclamation or provide details on how the holidays would be recognized at the governmental level, and it remains to be seen what legislative action will be taken to support the President’s statement.
