President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that construction on a new Paris-style, triumphal arch in Washington, is expected to begin “sometime in the next two months.”
The president has long hinted at plans for the new, permanent monument as part of the administration’s commemoration of the nation’s 250th anniversary on July 4, 2026.
