President Donald Trump announced plans to construct a 250-foot-tall memorial arch between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery in Washington. He stated that the structure will function as a military complex designed to store ammunition and host snipers and drones on its roof and plaza. This project is part of a series of initiatives the president is pursuing to modify the capital's landscape, including renovations to the White House and the Kennedy Center. The president described the design changes as a response to requests from the military to enhance national security infrastructure.
