A 13-foot replica of the Christopher Columbus statue originally from Baltimore, destroyed in 2020 during protests, was installed on March 22, 2026, near the White House on the Eisenhower Executive Office Building grounds. Reconstructed from recovered fragments, the marble statue was loaned by Italian American organizations and unveiled as part of the White House’s "America250" initiative. The move, backed by the Trump administration, symbolizes support for preserving historical figures amid ongoing national debates over monuments, colonialism, and cultural memory.
