But on Thursday in this year of Juntehence Holiday, the President normally speaking has been silent so far about a major day for North -Americans to mark the end of slavery in the country he re -directed.
Asked if Trump would commemorate Junteteent in any way, White House Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said to journalists: “I do not follow his signature in a proclamation today. I know it is a federal party. I want to thank all for having -shown at work. Surely we are here. We are now working 24/7.”
Asked in a follow -up question if Trump could recognize the occasion in a different or other day, Leavitt said: “I just answered this question for you.”
The silence of the Republican President was a strong contrast to his prior recognition of the holidays. Junteenth celebrates the end of slavery in the United States commemorating on June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers led the news of freedom to enslave blacks in Galveston, Texas.
His freedom came more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln released slaves into the Confederation by signing the emancipation proclamation during the Civil War.

In 2019, the AP found its statement: “In our country, the contributions of African Americans continue to enrich all facets of North -American life.”
Trump 2020 The statement acknowledged the holidays again. “June reminds us of both the unimaginable inimaginable injustice of slavery and the incomparable joy that must have attended emancipation. It is a memory of a forcefulness about our history and a celebration of the unsuccessful capacity of our nation to succeed on darkness,” said Trump at that time.
In 2020, after suspending the demonstrations of his campaign due to the coronavirus pandemic, Trump chose Tulsa, Oklahoma, as a place to resume his public meetings and scheduled a rally on June 19. But the decision was so criticized that Trump postponed the event for a day.
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal days before the rally, Trump sought to take a positive turn in the situation claiming that he had made Junteenth “famous”. He said he changed the date of the rally out of respect for two African American friends and supporters.
“I did something good. I made it famous. I made Junteenth very famous,” said Trump. “This is actually an important event, it is an important time. But no one had heard of it. Very few people have heard of it.”
Generations of North black -Americans celebrated Junteeenth long before it became a federal holiday by 2021 with the COP of President Joe BidenThe pen.
Later, in 2020, Trump sought to watch the black voters with a series of campaign promises, including the creation of Junteenth as a federal holiday.
