The Trump administration announced on September 3, 2026, that excavation work will commence within the next two weeks for a proposed gilded arch in Washington DC. This project is currently facing a lawsuit and has drawn criticism for potentially disrupting historic sightlines in the area. The arch is part of a series of initiatives by President Trump aimed at leaving a lasting impact on the city, which also includes plans to rename and renovate the Kennedy Center, construct a new White House ballroom, refurbish the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool, and rebuild a golf course in East Potomac Park that may limit public access to running and biking paths.
