Washington DC is hosting a military parade to mark the 250th anniversary of the US Army. The event falls on the same day as President Trump's 79th birthday. Caitríona Perry, Sumi Somaskanda and Bernd Debusmann Jr explore how the Trump administration is reshaping the US military with a deployment to quell unrest in Los Angeles, a big parade and changes to budgets and recruitment.
Every weekend, The President’s Path explores the state of US politics — in Washington and beyond. We dig into the key issues shaping America and uncover what’s on the minds of those closest to power. You can contact us at: path@bbc.co.uk
