"Trump hailed the arch as 'the GREATEST and MOST BEAUTIFUL Triumphal Arch, anywhere in the World.' If completed, it would dwarf the famous Arc de Triomphe in Paris, which is just under 50 meters."
"The arch is set to feature a gilded figure reminiscent of Lady Liberty, flanked by two eagles and guarded by four lions, also gilded, and bear the inscriptions of 'One Nation Under God' and 'Liberty and Justice for All' in gold letters."
"Costs remain unclear, although an Axios report cited an estimate by White House insiders that put the cost at $100 million. It is also possible that private money would be used to finance the monument."
"Trump previously said that the arch would be constructed to mark 250 years since the signing of the US Declaration of Independence on July 4, pointing to himself when asked who the monument was for."
Plans for a 76-meter triumphal arch in Washington D.C. have been filed with the US Commission of Fine Arts. Trump described it as the greatest arch globally. The structure will surpass the Arc de Triomphe in Paris and the Monument to the Revolution in Mexico. It will feature a gilded figure, two eagles, and four lions, with inscriptions in gold. The cost remains unclear, with estimates around $100 million, and potential private funding. Trump stated the arch commemorates 250 years since the Declaration of Independence.
