Veteran advocacy groups and Democratic lawmakers are teaming up to stop Donald Trump’s plans to build a 250-foot “triumphal arch” outside Arlington National Cemetery. The Weeknight hosts react.
Retired U.S. Army Major General Paul Eaton joins Alicia Menendez to discuss VoteVets new campaign aimed at stopping construction on President Trump's 250-foot triumphal arch. The group is raising concerns that the construction will interfere with military burials at Arlington National Cemetery.
Opponents of the 250-foot triumphal arch project say it could disrupt military burials at Arlington, during construction and after its completion.
As with all of Trump's beautification projects he's initiated for D.C., the arch has received pushback from critics concerned about its height and impact on surrounding area. Burgum pointed out in his thread that over 70 major cities and capitols around the world, including London, Paris, Rome and Madrid, have arches.
The proposed arch is one of several projects the president is pursuing to leave his lasting imprint on Washington.
Excavation work for the construction of President Donald Trump's "triumphal arch" will begin over the next two weeks, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum announced.
The planned 250-foot-tall structure near Arlington National Cemetery is one of the president’s top construction priorities.
The National Capital Planning Commission, led by the president’s allies, voted to provide preliminary approval for the project, tabling a height question for later.
President Donald Trump's plan to build a triumphal arch that would alter the Washington, D.C., skyline is getting another review from the federal agency whose approval he needs to build it
