The Pentagon has decided to postpone the military parade requested by President Donald Trump on the streets of Washington, DC, under the pretext of honoring veterans, until at least 2019.
The show was due to take place on November 10, originally dedicated to celebrating the centenary of the end of World War I and honoring veterans.
But a Pentagon official said on Thursday he would be postponed for at least a year.
The figures, issued earlier Thursday, said the event could cost about $ 92 million, more than three times the original estimate, while the bid budget official presented a preliminary budget at the White House announcement in February, ranging from $ 10 million And $ 30 million.
Trump asked for the show after watching a French military show at the Bastille Day celebrations in 2017.
A previous memo said tanks would not be used in the parade so as not to damage roads in Washington.
It was to include "wheel-only vehicles" without armored vehicles such as tanks, and the focus was on the work and sacrifices of American veterans throughout the ages, beginning with the American Civil War.
US media criticized the cost of the show and compared it to Trump's cancellation of planned military maneuvers with South Korea in June after meeting North Korean leader Kim Jong-un on the grounds that it would "save a lot of money."
Critics have also compared the show to those offered by authoritarian states.
The last military parade in the United States in 1991 was the end of its successful campaign to force Saddam's troops out of Kuwait.
Some social media users questioned the purpose of the show at all, saying the money could be used to help the veterans directly rather than spend it on the review. is over
