2:30Now PlayingSky's U.S. correspondent David Blevins reports from Washington on America's 250th birthday celebrations, exploring the tension between patriotic unity and political division.
The festivities, rebranded as 'Freedom 250' by President Trump, include fireworks, a Great American State Fair showcasing all 50 states, flyovers, and a flotilla of tall ships.
While many attendees express pride in their country and support for the president, others criticise what they see as Trump hijacking the national birthday to promote his own image.
