At his rally in Iowa on Friday, President Donald Trump kicked off "America 250" by giving a preview of some of the events that will take place to celebrate the 250th birthday of the U.S. next year.
“We will be orchestrating what we're calling the great American State Fair, and it will start right here in Iowa,” Trump announced.
Trump said that part of the celebrations would include a UFC fight on the White House lawn, an event that will be put on by UFC CEO Dana White.
"We're going to have a UFC fight. Think of this on the grounds of the White House,” he said. “We have a lot of land there."
Trump also announced a nationally televised sporting event featuring top-ranked high school athletes, spearheaded by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Trump also previewed his National Garden of American Heroes, which will be “a vast outdoor park featuring statues of the greatest Americans who ever lived,” which will be funded through the megabill he is due to sign into law on Friday.
