Trump unveils renderings of massive 250-ft arch he wants built

  • The Trump administration released new renderings for a proposed 250-foot triumphal arch intended to dominate the capital skyline.
  • The mockups, produced by Harrison Design, depict a towering white monument with gilded ornamentation, lion statues, a winged figure, and the inscription “One Nation Under God.”
  • The arch is slated for construction in Memorial Circle, a prominent roundabout near Arlington National Cemetery and directly across from the Lincoln Memorial.
  • The Interior Department submitted these renderings to the Commission on Fine Arts on Friday, with the commission scheduled to examine the proposal next week.
  • This marks the first official submission for the arch, which Trump has discussed for months, expressing a desire for it to be the largest of its kind.
