Trump is silent about Juneteenth holiday

President Donald Trump honored Juneteenth in each of his first four years as president, before it became a federal holiday. He even claimed once to have made Juneteenth “very famous.” But on this year's Juneteenth holiday on Thursday, Trump kept silent about a day important to Black Americans for marking the end of slavery in the country he leads again. The president had been expected to issue a proclamation about Juneteenth but White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters she wasn't tracking that. She declined to say whether Trump would recognize the occasion another way or on another day.
