President Donald Trump on Wednesday declared Wilmington, North Carolina, the country’s first World War II Heritage City.

Trump stood before an iconic World War II-era battleship to declare the port city of Wilmington a World War II “Heritage City.” He pointed to a bolt of lightning and said it was God saluting the event.
