BRITAIN/EU/HOLIDAY/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/VETS: “After the president’s three-day state visit to Britain, world leaders commemorated the World War II operation in northern France. President Trump left France for Ireland after meeting with President Emmanuel Macron and attending a D-Day commemoration. While visiting the American cemetery in Normandy, he also took swipes at Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel, and Nancy Pelosi, the House speaker. President Trump marked the 75th anniversary of the D-Day invasion in Normandy at a ceremony at the grave site of more than 9,380 American service members who were killed in the World War II landings and the operations that followed…Mr. Trump and the first lady emerged from the president’s military helicopter just before 11 a.m., their arrival shown on two screens flanking the large stage. Cheers erupted from the audience for Mr. Trump, with some audience members taking off their caps and waving them. President Emmanuel Macron of France and Mr. Trump greeted the more than 60 aging World War II veterans in attendance as they arrived onstage.”
