WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump said he plans to display battle tanks on Washington’s National Mall as part of a pumped-up Fourth of July celebration that will also feature flyovers by fighter jets and other displays of military prowess.

Trump said modern M1 Abrams tanks and World War Two-era Sherman tanks would both be on display.
