President Donald Trump has stated that he will convert his planned triumphal arch in Washington D.C. into a 'top grade military complex,' according to multiple news sources. In a social media post, Trump said the changes were made at the 'strong request' of the military and for 'national security purposes,' as reported by Fortune, BBC World, and CBS News US. The updated plans include the use of the arch as a site for 'large numbers of drones, plus snipers, on both the roof and plaza areas,' as well as the storage of 'large quantities of sniper ammunition,' according to CBS News US. The proposed 250-foot arch, located near Arlington National Cemetery, has drawn attention from a federal court, which is currently weighing the legality of the project, as noted by NPR News. Trump has faced pushback over his multiple construction projects in the nation's capital, as reported by NPR National. The development comes as world leaders gather for the U.N. General Assembly amid ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Gulf, as highlighted by NPR News.
