He called the future structure a military complex that would also serve as the Arc de Triomphe.<\/p>\n<p> According to the US president&#8217;s plan, the facility should provide for the placement, storage, and rapid use of a large number of drones. Trump also announced the possibility of placing snipers on the roof and in the square, as well as storing ammunition.<\/p>\n<p> The 250-foot-tall structure is planned to be built near the Arlington Memorial Bridge, between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery. The Trump administration previously presented the project as a memorial to the 250th anniversary of US independence.<\/p>\n<p> At the same time, the project is already facing legal challenges. In particular, a group of veterans and an architectural historian are challenging its implementation, stating that it needs Congressional approval.<\/p>\n<p> Also follow <strong>\u201cPryamim\u201d<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">X<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Telegram<\/a> , and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US President Donald Trump has announced a change in plans for the Arc de Triomphe in Washington, D.C.
