[Trump to Be the Main Act for U.S. Independence Day Opening Show, Multiple Artists Withdraw] According to Xinhua News Agency, the United States has planned a series of events to celebrate the 250th anniversary of its independence, including a live concert at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. However, several well-known American musicians have recently announced their withdrawal from the event, citing concerns about being entangled in political disputes. On May 30, U.S. President Trump expressed dissatisfaction with the artists' decision to withdraw, stating that he intends to host a political rally and deliver a speech as the 'opening act' for the series of celebrations. According to reports from multiple foreign media outlets, including the Associated Press, five of the nine previously announced performers for the concert have already withdrawn, including Bret Michaels, lead singer of an American rock band, and Martina McBride, a country music singer.
