Trump’s Planned Veterans Arch Faces Court Block

At a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery, President Donald Trump said a planned 250-foot triumphal arch near Arlington and the Lincoln Memorial would honor veterans and the military, presenting it as a project they had long wanted. Trump has also described the structure as a tribute to himself and suggested it could be called the “Arc de Trump.” The project, inspired by Paris’s Arc de Triomphe, faces lawsuits from veterans and other opponents; a federal judge has temporarily halted construction. Some military groups support the proposal, while others oppose it, and members of the Kennedy family have also challenged it over its potential effect on nearby graves.
