US President Donald Trump says he plans to rename Veterans Day - known as Remembrance Day in the UK - as "Victory Day for World War I" to celebrate American contributions to the conflict. The president also wants to name VE Day on 8 May as "Victory Day for World War II",

So we are going to start celebrating our victories again ." These names are similar to the one Russia uses, celebrating Victory Day on May 9 to mark the surrender of the Nazis. The US became involved in World War II after Japan's attacks on Pearl Harbour in 1941.
