President Donald Trump plans an Arc de Triomphe-style monument for Washington D.C. The effort to make this a possibility received the nickname “Arc de Trump.” The intent will be to commemorate the U.S.’s 250th anniversary. Three models were presented, a small, medium and large. Trump preferred the large model. The proposed monument will be seen by people crossing Memorial Bridge from Arlington National Cemetery into the heart of Washington D.C.<\/p>\n

A reportedly privately funded monument, dubbed the “Arc de Trump,” is planned to commemorate the nation’s 250th anniversary next year, the latest in a series of renovation and design projects the former real estate developer has pursued since returning to the White House. Trump offered a glimpse of the project last week in the Oval Office, showing a model positioned on a rendering of the National Mall.<\/p>\n

At a White House ballroom fundraising dinner on Wednesday, Trump shared additional details about the newest monument planned for the nation’s capital. He said he was presented with three arch models in varying sizes — small, medium and large — and said his preference was for the largest one.<\/p>\n

The monument, a near twin of Paris’s iconic Arc de Triomphe, is meant to welcome visitors crossing the Memorial Bridge from Arlington National Cemetery into the heart of the nation’s capital.<\/p>\n

It’s unclear when construction on the arch will begin or how much it will cost. Trump said Wednesday evening that remaining funds from the new White House ballroom project will go toward financing the arch.<\/p>\n

The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for further comment.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Trump administration has begun construction on a 90,000-square-foot White House ballroom. The sprawling addition, announced in July, will accommodate approximately 650 seated guests and will stay true to the classical design of the White House.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
