Trump’s 250-foot arch near Arlington clears regulatory hurdle
TL;DR
A federal panel, the National Capital Planning Commission, voted to advance President Trump’s plan for a 250-foot triumphal arch near Arlington Cemetery, while postponing a final decision on height. The move comes after several hours of public opposition and amid concerns about the arch’s impact on Arlington National Cemetery and surrounding monuments; staff recommended a reduced height to comply with federal law, as Trump and allies push to begin construction.
