President Donald Trump took to his social media platform on Thursday to say that there are "too many non-working holidays in America."

His comments come on Juneteenth, the federal holiday that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States.

Trump claimed that federal holidays are costing the country billions of dollars, and workers do not support them either.

"It must change if we are going to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" Trump wrote.

Former President Joe Biden enshrined Juneteenth as a federal holiday in 2021, and it was celebrated at the White House every June 19 of his administration.

Notably, the White House kept a full schedule on Thursday.
