Trump unveils 250-foot Arc de Trump plan for Memorial Circle
TL;DR
The Trump administration released new renderings for a 250-foot Arc de Trump at Memorial Circle, featuring a 60-foot golden Lady Liberty and a viewing deck, with “One Nation Under God” across the top. The plan, submitted to the Commission of Fine Arts ahead of an April 16 meeting, follows Trump’s dismissal of CFA members and comes amid separate NCPC approval but a district court ruling keeping the project in limbo. Officials say costs are still being calculated and funding will be a mix of public and private sources, with the arch sited near Arlington National Cemetery to honor American sacrifices.
