Trump Administration Addresses Algae Issue in Washington's Reflecting Pool

The U.S. Department of the Interior has stated that the water in the reflecting pool at the Washington Monument is 'crystal clear,' despite reports from witnesses describing it as murky and green. Federal workers are currently working to address the algae problem in the pool, which has been likened by some officials to the challenges faced in the administration's foreign policy efforts, specifically referencing the conflict with Iran. This follows a $14.2 million refurbishment ordered by former President Donald Trump aimed at preparing the monument for the country's 250th birthday celebrations.
