President Donald Trump has scheduled othre events, including an intelligence briefing and a swearing-in ceremony for the ambassador to Ireland, but no mention of juneteenth festivities. Last year, President Joe Biden hosted a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pastor-high-school-coach-among-nearly-80-people-arrested-in-sex-trafficking-sting-operation\/\" title=\"Pastor, High School Coach Among Nearly 80 People Arrested In Sex Trafficking Sting Operation\">large-scale event<\/a> in recognition of the holiday, contrasting sharply with Trump&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >current low-key approach<\/a>. Trump has previously supported Juneteenth, claiming he made it &#8220;very famous&#8221; during his administration, which included promises to establish it as a national holiday-a status it received under Biden in 2021. concerns are emerging that Trump&#8217;s stance against diversity initiatives may have negatively impacted Juneteenth celebrations across the country, as notable events, such as the Juneteenth atlanta parade, have reported reduced support from corporate sponsors and local governments.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">White House lists no Juneteenth celebration&nbsp;plans for Trump<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2149523\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/white-house\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">White House<\/a> is staying mum about its plans for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/juneteenth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Juneteenth\">Juneteenth<\/a>, with official guidance released Wednesday night listing no events for the federal holiday.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Donald Trump\">Donald Trump<\/a> will receive an intelligence briefing at 11:30 a.m. and hold a swearing-in ceremony for the ambassador to the Republic of Ireland at 2:30 p.m. There will be a news briefing hosted by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt at 1 p.m.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3446223\/trump-vance-prepare-maga-world-possible-us-entry-war-iran\/\">Trump and Vance prepare MAGA world for possible US strikes against Iran<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3446802\/trump-morgan-ortagus-middle-east-envoy-un\/\">Trump taps Morgan Ortagus for senior UN role after Middle East appointment<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/3446605\/e-jean-carroll-plans-spend-83-million-trump-payout\/\">E.

The White House did not respond to questions sent earlier in the week from the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em> about Trump&rsquo;s Juneteenth plans. The federal government will observe the holiday, however.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, President Joe Biden went big, hosting a Juneteenth-themed concert on the White House south lawn and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3034705\/watch-live-biden-delivers-remarks-juneteenth-concert\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"delivered\">delivering<\/a> remarks, though the concert was held on June 10 rather than June 19. That event was mostly remembered for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3036877\/biden-ridiculed-blank-stare-during-juneteenth-concert\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"blank stare\">blank stare<\/a> on Biden&rsquo;s face as the music played and people around him danced.<\/p>\n<p>While Trump&rsquo;s stance against diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives is well known, he has been a longtime supporter of Juneteenth, which marks the day in June 1865 when slaves in Galveston, Texas, were told of their emancipation following the end of the Civil War. The news arrived more than two years after Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation.<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, Trump sought to take credit for making Juneteenth &ldquo;very famous,&rdquo; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/trump-talks-juneteenth-john-bolton-economy-in-wsj-interview-11592493771\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"telling\">telling<\/a> the <em>Wall Street Journal<\/em> that &ldquo;nobody had ever heard of it&rdquo; before he came along. <\/p>\n<p>That &ldquo;fame&rdquo; arose because Trump scheduled a campaign rally for June 19, 2020, which would have been his first since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. After facing blowback for planning a rally on Juneteenth, especially as Black Lives Matter protests were spreading throughout the country, Trump agreed to push the date back to June 20.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I did something good: I made Juneteenth very famous,&rdquo; Trump said of news coverage regarding the controversy. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s actually an important event, an important time. But nobody had ever heard of it.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Trump&rsquo;s evidence for that claim was that he&rsquo;d asked people around him and none knew of Juneteenth. His White House was generally supportive of the occasion, however, issuing statements in honor of Juneteenth during each year of his first term.<\/p>\n<p>Later in 2020, amidst a fierce reelection campaign, Trump promised to make Juneteenth a national holiday as part of the &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.donaldjtrump.com\/media\/president-trump-releases-the-platinum-plan-for-black-americans-opportunity-security-prosperity-and-fairness\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Platinum Plan for Black America\">Platinum Plan for Black America<\/a>.&rdquo;
