Commission of Fine Arts approves Trump's triumphal arch proposal for Washington D.C.
The Commission of Fine Arts unanimously gave initial approval to President Trump's proposal for a 250-foot Independence Arch in Washington D.C. to commemorate America's 250th birthday. The proposed monument would become the world's tallest ceremonial arch and is located near Arlington National Cemetery, though it faces a lawsuit from Vietnam War veterans over aesthetic and legal concerns.
