Trump’s 250‑foot Triumphal Arch has hit another setback after a National Park Service review found the project would cause “adverse effects” across Washington’s most historic sites, including the Lincoln Memorial, Arlington National Cemetery and the Capitol. The assessment warns the towering monument would disrupt protected sightlines, overshadow memorial corridors and intrude on solemn spaces such as military funerals. The Interior Department is still pushing the proposal forward, but preservation experts say the arch’s scale and placement could permanently alter the capital’s visual identity. The project now faces heightened scrutiny as federal planners request more information and weigh its long‑term impact.
