Thank you to the University of Arkansas Razorback Marching Band and the Episcopal Collegiate School Steelcats Steel Drum Band for playing for our guests at our Grand American Jubilee. It means a lot to Harriet and me to bring a bit of our home state to our America 250 celebration.
An unforgettable night with family, friends, and an extraordinary performance from Tim McGraw. Thank you, Tim, for helping us mark this historic occasion in true American style.
Last night, Harriet and I were honored to welcome Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester to our celebration of 250 years of American independence and the enduring alliance between the United States and the United Kingdom.
For two and a half centuries, the United States has been defined by courage, spirit, and an enduring belief in freedom. On behalf of @POTUS@RealDonaldTrump, my wife, Harriet, our entire family, and @USAinUK, thank you for joining us to celebrate America and our special relationship. May we continue to burn as beacons of freedom for another 250 years and beyond.
Harriet and I are delighted to welcome friends and partners from government, business, culture, defense, diplomacy, and more to Winfield House for this special Fourth of July Grand American Jubilee. The U.S.-UK relationship has never been stronger, and it's wonderful to celebrate our shared history, enduring friendship, and united future.
