The Interior Department released design renderings for a proposed 250-foot triumphal arch. Plans place the arch between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery, physically dwarfing the 99-foot Lincoln Memorial across the Potomac. The monument is billed as a tribute to former president Trump and has sparked controversy over its scale, location, and political symbolism. Critics say it would overwhelm historic federal memorials and alter the National Mall skyline; supporters call it a bold tribute.
