But the president has defended the spectacle.
The military parade planned to mark the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary — which falls on President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday on June 14 — could leave Washington, D.C., facing up to $16 million in street repairs, U.S. military officials have acknowledged.
Heavy tanks are planned to roll through parts of the city.
The damage they’re expected to rout on roads could make up more than a third of the parade’s total estimated upper cost of $45 million, reported NBC News.
