'Permanent repair' to Reflecting Pool to come around July 4, Trump says

President Donald Trump announced that the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool will be drained for permanent repair around July 4. This follows a costly beautification initiative launched by the president to address issues with algae and poor reflection. Previous efforts included repainting the pool's bottom and applying various chemical treatments to improve the water quality. The upcoming project aims to provide a lasting solution to the maintenance problems identified by the president regarding the site.
