NCPC approves plan to build Trump’s triumphal arch

The National Capital Planning Commission approved plans for President Trump's 250-foot-high triumphal arch between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery via an 8-4 vote. This decision followed a nine-hour hearing featuring over 100 public remarks, most of which opposed the project. However, US district judge Tanya Chutkan issued a 14-day temporary restraining order on Friday, halting all construction work on the monument shortly after the government's final approval of the prominent Washington project.
