Trump proposed a 250-foot triumphal arch in D.C. for the U.S. 250th, funded by leftover renovation money, sparking criticism over its size and location.
In January 2026, reports emerged that President Donald Trump is advocating for a 250-foot-tall permanent triumphal arch in Washington, D.C., to commemorate the U.S. 250th anniversary.
The proposed structure, larger than the Arc de Triomphe, would be funded by leftover donations from his White House ballroom renovation and is expected to require federal approval.
Critics, including architects and preservationists, have raised concerns over its scale, location near historic landmarks like the Lincoln Memorial, and potential impact on the city’s skyline.
Alternative sites, such as Barney Circle, have been suggested.
The project reflects Trump’s long-standing interest in large-scale monuments, though no official plans or construction has begun.
