They want it to be called the Trump Promenade, the president
in the Oval Office.
It will be beautiful, very beautiful.
The announcement comes the same day that the Trump-ordered renovation of the Lincoln Memorial pool is reportedly complete, painted in the color "American flag blue", and it will be filled with water again by Sunday at the latest.
Additionally, Trump on Wednesday praised the martial arts cage currently being installed in the White House garden. On TikTok, he compared it to the Eiffel Tower in Paris and said, probably jokingly, that it might never be removed.
But other projects have run into problems. The White House ballroom has been met with opposition, and last week a judge ruled that adding the president's own name to the Kennedy Center was illegal.
The future of the triumphal arch the president wants to see at Arlington National Cemetery is also under review. The federal agency that decides on the issue requested more information on Thursday in order to approve the project, AP reports.
At 76 meters, the arch is expected to be significantly taller than both the White House and the Lincoln Memorial and to disrupt the view, which has led to protests, NPR reports, among others.
The arch is intended to stand in front of the bridge that leads over the Potomac River to the very spot where the new Trump Promenade is intended to end.
