'President Donald Trump is putting his own mark on the annual Fourth of July celebration in D.C., including moving the location of the fireworks display and planning an address on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

The National Park Service said that this year’s fireworks — which have been launched from a location along the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool for the last several years — will blast off from West Potomac Park.

Trump announced earlier this year that he is planning to change the annual Independence Day celebration, forecasting one of the biggest gathering in the history of the nation’s capital.'>>>
