1:44Now PlayingPresident Donald Trump has warned that people who protest at his planned military parade on June 14 will be met "with very heavy force."
The parade, held this Saturday in Washington, D.C., will mark the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary. It is also Trump's birthday. He's expected to speak at the event.
Speaking to reporters Tuesday in the Oval Office, Trump said he was unaware of plans to protest the parade but said "these are people that hate our country."
"For those people who want to protest, they're going to be met with very big force," Trump said.
"I haven't even heard about a protest, but, you know, this is people that hate our country," he said.
A military parade has been a long-held goal of Trump's, dating back to his first administration. The event has been criticized by Democrats and others for the cost, estimated up to $45 million, and possible damage to the city's roads.
