Trump has asked the Pentagon to explore holding "a celebration" for Americans to show their appreciation for the armed forces, the White House said.

The news came amid reports that military leaders have begun planning a military parade at the president's request, something the Pentagon has indicated it is looking into.

Trump has repeatedly expressed an interest in holding a display of America's military might and upped his calls for a parade after witnessing the Bastille Day celebrations during a trip to France last summer.

“President Trump is incredibly supportive of America’s great service members who risk their lives every day to keep our country safe," White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement Tuesday night.

"He has asked the Department of Defense to explore a celebration at which all Americans can show their appreciation."

A spokesperson for the Pentagon said the agency is "aware of the request" and is in the "process of determining specific details."
