President Donald Trump has announced the U.S. 250 Freedom Tour to celebrate America’s 250th birthday. The tour, inspired by the post-World War II Friendship and Merci Trains, will visit 50 states in 50 weeks.

“To help carry out these exciting plans, we’ve created a new public-private partnership, it’s called Freedom 250,” Trump announced in a YouTube video on Dec. 18.
