President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that Veterans Day will also be known as “Victory Day for World War I” — citing America’s role in Germany’s surrender on November 11, 1918.

He was speaking in honor of Veterans Day at a wreath laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. 

“Today is not only Veterans Day, but it’s my proclamation that we are now going to be saying and calling [it] Victory Day for World War I,” Trump said, according to the New York Post

“I saw France was celebrating ‘victory day,’ but we didn’t. And I saw France was celebrating another ‘victory day’ for World War II, and other countries were celebrating. They were all celebrated. We’re the one that won the wars.”

“From now on, we’re going to say Victory Day for World War I and World War II. And we could do for plenty of other wars, but we’ll start with those two. Maybe someday somebody else will add a couple of more, because we won a lot of good ones,” Trump said.
