ISTANBUL July 5 — United States (US) President Donald Trump marked the country's 250th Independence Day on Saturday with a warning about national cohesion, fair elections, and a free press, Anadolu Ajansı reported.
“On this wonderful occasion of the 250th birthday of the United States of America, we celebrate our history,” he said in a letter shared by the New York Post.
Trump added that “in a spirit of generosity and with an expectation of cohesion, generations of Americans welcomed people from all corners of the globe to join them.”
“We all had winning and cohesion in common — but this is a warning: We must not lose the cohesion.
“For the sake of America and the whole world, we must be strong, powerful, and honest. We must have fair elections and a free and fair press, which we do not have right now,” he said.
Speaking about national unity, Trump emphasised that Americans are “one family and one nation,” united under the same flag and shared freedoms, and that “whenever our way of life has been threatened, we have responded.”
“We are Americans. We never give in, we never give up, and our country is only going to get better than ever before,” he said.
Trump will hold a political rally on the National Mall in Washington, as Americans celebrate the patriotic holiday with fireworks and parades.
