WASHINGTON — The military parade ordered up by President Trump could cost more than $90 million, a Defense Department official said Thursday — a financial mandate that, if it happens, would come as the Pentagon emerges from years of required budget caps.
Department officials said the plans for the parade have not been finalized. But one official put the new potential price tag, first reported by CNBC, for the scheduled Nov. 10 event as high as $92 million, depending on how many troops are included.
Earlier estimates said the parade could cost $10 million to $30 million, about the same as one held in Washington in 1991 at the end of the Persian Gulf war.
