WATCH: Fireworks Light up the Sky Over Washington D.C. for United States 250th Anniversary | N18G [rQnBr4OSsKk]
A spectacular firework display lit up the night over of Washington D.C and the National Mall as to celebrate Fourth of July weekend. President Donald Trump commemorated the 250th anniversary of America’s independence after storms prompted a roughly two-hour evacuation of the National Mall, with severe weather disrupting celebrations in several East Coast cities. Severe weather prompted the cancellation of celebrations in Hartford, Connecticut, along with Harrisburg and Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Anticipation for the milestone holiday has been building for much of the year, serving as an opportunity for Americans to reflect on their complicated history as onetime colonists of an empire who became a superpower of their own. #newyorkcity #america250 #july4th #trumpspeech #livenews #cnbctv18 #usatoday
