US 4th of July celebrations LIVE updates: Fireworks start as Trump finishes speech at Washington event postponed by storm that upended America’s 250th anniversary celebration

This article provides live updates on the U.S. 4th of July celebrations, highlighting several events across different locations. In Washington, Trump's speech to commemorate the nation's 250th anniversary was postponed due to severe weather conditions, leading to the evacuation of the National Mall. Masked white nationalists gathered in Washington, while in Philadelphia, fans celebrated both the World Cup and the 250th anniversary of American independence. In Iran, a performer at the funeral of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called for Trump's death, marking a rare direct appeal. Additionally, an environmental organization's boat was removed from a New York maritime parade for displaying politically charged banners. These events reflect a mix of national commemorations, political tensions, and international reactions.
