President Donald Trump said he plans to travel to Mount Rushmore in South Dakota on July 3 for an Independence Day fireworks show, one of several trips he scheduled after remaining in Washington for more than a month due to the coronavirus.

Trump said in an interview with a conservative commentator that his administration lifted environmental restrictions that prevented the fireworks show at the monument to four presidents.
