Trump issues a White House message marking the anniversary of Congress ratifying the Treaty of Paris, which ended the Revolutionary War.
The statement highlights key moments from 1783–1784, including the ceasefire, peace talks, and the role of Franklin, Jay, and Adams.
It points to the treaty as the event that secured U.S. independence for the 13 colonies and finalized the country’s sovereignty.
The message ties the anniversary to the 250th year of American independence and stresses values like “peace through strength,” rule of law, and loyalty to citizens.
This is a commemorative message and does not create new programs, change laws, or direct agencies to take action.
