President Donald Trump's plans for America's 250th anniversary celebrations have faced numerous setbacks, including the sudden shutdown of his state fair in Washington, D.C., due to extreme heat.

The event, dubbed 'Freedom 250,' was forced to close after temperatures soared to triple digits, disrupting preparations for the Fourth of July festivities.
