President Trump’s upcoming military parade in Washington, D.C., is expected to cost roughly $12 million, according to defense officials.

The parade was originally planned after Trump attended a similar military parade in France and declared he wanted one to take place in the United States to celebrate American armed forces. After months of speculation, it’s set to take place on Nov. 10, just one day before the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I.
