The Pentagon is still in the dark about Trump's military parade — but it could use donations to help pay for it
The Pentagon has reportedly started developing options for the parade Trump has proposed, but military officials may not be on board with the idea.
The US military is still operating with few details about what the military parade President Donald Trump has proposed would look like and cost, according to CNN, and that uncertainty is a source of dismay within the Pentagon.
No definite cost estimate can be made until Trump gives a specific order for the event. But a defense official involved in the planning told CNN that the price could range from $3 million to $50 million.
White House budget director Mick Mulvaney said on February 14 that there were "different cost estimates" of "between $10 million and $30 million, depending on the size of the parade, the scope of it, the length, those types of things."
