U.S. President Donald Trump has declared May 8 as Victory Day in Europe in the Second World War in the country. This information was included in an official statement issued by the White House.
Medianews.az, referring to Milli.Az, reports that the document states that May 8, 1945, remains remembered as a turning point in the defeat of Nazi Germany and the struggle for freedom. Trump specifically emphasized the role of the U.S. military in the war, recalling that hundreds of thousands of Americans lost their lives.
