The president is expected to meet with veterans, tour the Battleship North Carolina and give remarks honoring the contributions of Wilmington to the U.S. victory in World War II.

In March 2019, Trump signed legislation directing the U.S. Secretary of the Interior to designate at least one city per year as an American World War II Heritage City.
