flag Trump proposes a 250-foot arch near the Lincoln Memorial, citing disputed historical claims, with no funding or approval details.

flag President Donald Trump announced plans to build a large arch near the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., comparing it to Paris’s Arc de Triomphe and claiming the city has desired such a monument for nearly 200 years. flag He said the idea was delayed by the Civil War and nearly realized in 1902, though historical records show the Arlington Memorial Bridge—often linked to the arch concept—was not approved until 1925 as a symbol of national unity. flag Trump displayed multiple design models, including one reportedly 250 feet tall with a Statue of Liberty figure, but did not disclose costs, funding, or approval processes. flag A White House spokesperson cited long-standing public interest, but historians dispute the timeline. flag The project remains in early planning stages with no official review process outlined.
