Trump Plan for Monument Near Lincoln Memorial Moves Forward With Preliminary Approval

The US Commission of Fine Arts has given preliminary approval to President Donald Trump's plan for a massive new triumphal arch monument in Washington D.C., bringing the project one step closer to reality. The commission's decision is seen as a significant milestone in the development of the long-awaited monument, which is expected to be a major tourist attraction. The design features a 225-foot-tall arch with an 18-carat gold-leaf interior and an American flag on top. Construction is anticipated to begin later this year or early next year.
