President Donald Trump announced his intention to build a 'Trump Arch' opposite the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC, as part of his efforts to redesign the capital. The project, which will commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States, will be privately funded by his supporters. Trump presented three versions of the arch: small, medium, and large, expressing his preference for the large version. Inspired by the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, it is expected to be located at the end of the Memorial Bridge, enhancing the visitor experience.
Alongside this project, Trump also mentioned other initiatives for his second term, including the renovation of the White House and the construction of a ballroom. Although details about costs and the start date of construction are unclear, Trump has posted illustrations of the plan on social media. Critics have described the proposed renovations as extravagant, but Trump continues to promote his vision for the capital.
