US EditionTrump administration releases renderings of 250-foot 'triumphal arch' to loom over Potomac
The gilded monument would honor the nation’s 250th anniversary and faces court challenges over views from Arlington National Cemetery, officials said.
- On Friday, the Interior Department filed renderings with the Commission of Fine Arts for a 250-foot 'Triumphal Arch' at Memorial Circle, marking the first formal submission to commemorate the nation's 250th anniversary.
- Designed by Harrison Design, the proposed structure features a 60-foot gilded Lady Liberty, four golden lions, and inscriptions reading 'One Nation Under God' and 'Liberty and Justice for All,' aiming to become the world's largest triumphal arch.
- While President Donald Trump claims the project will be privately funded, the National Endowment for the Humanities' spending plan reserves $2 million in special initiative funds and $13 million in matching grants for the monument.

- The Commission of Fine Arts is scheduled to review the designs next week, though opponents emphasize that congressional authorization is likely required for construction on protected land within the capital.
