The White House is responding to reports that President Trump wants a 250-foot-tall “Independence Arch» in Washington, D.C., saying the monument would be among the most iconic in the world.
President Donald Trump is pushing plans for a massive triumphal arch in Washington, D.C., a project the White House says will become one of the most iconic landmarks in the world as critics warn the structure could visually dominate nearby memorials, including the Lincoln Memorial.
The White House defended the proposal in a statement to Fox News Digital, describing the monument as a central part of Trump’s legacy and vision ahead of the nation’s 250th anniversary.
«The Arch is going to be one of the most iconic landmarks not only in Washington, D.C., but throughout the world», White House spokesman Davis Ingle said. «President Trump’s bold vision will be imprinted upon the fabric of America and be felt by generations to come. His successes will continue to give the greatest Nation on earth — America — the glory it deserves.
