Trump Unveils Triumphal Arch Plans Near Lincoln Memorial
The arch will be located at Memorial Circle near Arlington Memorial Bridge and is part of Trump’s plan to leave a lasting architectural legacy in Washington, D.C.
- On Oct. 15, 2025, President Donald Trump unveiled plans at a White House dinner for a triumphal arch at Memorial Circle, nicknamed the 'Arc de Trump' and near Arlington Memorial Bridge.
- The administration says the arch aims to fill a gap in Washington's monument vista and mark the country's 250th anniversary, linked to the executive order 'Making Federal Architecture Beautiful Again'.
- The administration highlighted that architect Nicolas Leo Charbonneau of Harrison Design shared renderings and three models—small, medium, large—with a Lady Liberty statue, and the White House said Trump and 'patriot donors' will fund the project.
- The White House did not immediately answer queries about whether the design was submitted to the National Capital Planning Commission, while preservation experts and California Governor Gavin Newsom raised cost and feasibility concerns amid the government shutdown.
- Scale models indicate the arch would surpass the Lincoln Memorial and reshape the Washington, D.C. landscape, following changes to the Rose Garden patio and Oval Office renovations, while Jason Montgomery urged a national conversation to ensure it represents all Americans.
