Where they diverge
-
Trump's initial proposal for the arch
- Al Jazeera: Trump first proposed building a monumental arch last year to mark 250 years of US independence, saying it would be akin to other famed arches like the Arc de Triomphe built in Paris after World War Two, but “the biggest one of all”
- The Jerusalem Post: Trump's plan to build the arch has faced heavy criticism since its announcement for various reasons, including its location and the potential to obstruct views of other monuments in Washington.
- Channel NewsAsia: The arch and ballroom are part of Trump 's broader effort to remake the nation's capital, including the renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, the redevelopment of a golf course in East Potomac Park, and a push to add his name to the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
