Trump Says Planned Washington Arch Will Include Military Facilities for Drones and Snipers
President Donald Trump has announced that a planned 250-foot (76-meter) triumphal arch in Washington, D.C., would also serve as a military complex capable of housing drones, sniper positions and ammunition. Trump said in a post on Truth Social that he agreed to the change at the โstrong requestโ of the U.S. military and cited national security concerns, although he did not identify any specific threat that prompted the proposal. Sky News reported that the announcement represents a significant change to plans for the structure, which had already been moving toward construction. The administration had said earlier in September that it was preparing to begin work in the coming weeks. The proposed arch would be located near the Arlington Memorial Bridge, between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery. Its design includes a large winged figure, two eagles and four lions, with gold inscriptions reading โOne Nation Under Godโ and โLiberty and Justice for All.โ The structure would be considerably taller than the nearby Lincoln Memorial. The proposal has generated opposition and legal challenges. Military veterans have sought to block construction, arguing that the project would damage the historic sightline between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery and requires congressional approval. Aviation experts have also raised safety concerns because of the site's proximity to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. The project has received approval for its site and preliminary plans from the National Capital Area Planning Commission, but it had not received final approval at the time of the report. The Pentagon said it had no additional information beyond Trump's social media statement, while the White House declined to provide further details. The announcement comes amid Trump's broader efforts to alter several prominent Washington landmarks and government properties.
