The White House unveiled new renderings of the 250-foot arch as a military tribute after a judge paused construction.
- On Friday, a U.S. judge paused construction on President Donald Trump's 250-foot arch in Washington, prompting the White House to rebrand the project as the Military Triumphal Arch emphasizing military heritage.

- Attorneys general from Virginia and the District of Columbia sued to prevent construction, citing safety concerns near Reagan Washington National Airport and damage to the capital skyline; Trump previously described the structure as a "military complex."
- US District Judge Tanya Chutkan issued a 14-day restraining order on construction, prompting White House spokesman Davis Ingle to criticize the ruling as coming from "an activist district court."
- The administration contends Congress authorized the arch over 100 years ago amid Republican Party losses in Tuesday's midterm elections, as new renderings showcase a "GOLDEN AGE OF AMERICA" theme and the United States Triumphal Arch Foundation claims independence.
