- Interior Secretary Doug Burgum announced Thursday that construction on the Great Triumphal Arch will begin in coming weeks near Arlington National Cemetery. The project, nicknamed the Arc de Trump, represents part of a broader effort to memorialize the president.

- Justice Department lawyers notified the U.S. District Court that plans to rename the Kennedy Memorial Center are delayed until October. Rep Joyce Beatty previously filed a lawsuit challenging the administration's renaming and construction projects.
- The administration's effort to rename the United States Institute of Peace remains contentious as construction proceeds. State Department officials maintain the projects reflect Trump's legacy as "the greatest dealmaker in our nation's history.
