Trump's triumphal arch plans don't mention military complex
New Interior Department documents on President Donald Trump's proposed Triumphal Arch don’t mention the “military complex” he has said it would host, but the agency said Monday the plan could accommodate such a feature. The documents include site maps and renderings of the arch. The National Park Service cited the 250th anniversary of the nation's founding as a reason for the structure's size.
Trump said in September that he agreed, at the military's request, to convert the structure into a “top grade Military Complex/Triumphal Arch” and that it would store drones and ammunition, as well as accommodate snipers. The arch's opponents say it's too big and would disrupt the view between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery.
