The American National Park Service gave support to the triumphal arch in Washington proposed by President Donald Trump. The decision was made despite the negative visual effects that the structure could cause on iconic landmarks of the American capital.
Among the locations that would be visually affected are the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials, two of the most important monuments in Washington. These memorials are part of the city's protected historical and architectural heritage.
The arch proposed by Trump represents a controversial addition to Washington's skyline, a city known for its monumental architecture and the preservation of its historic spaces. The National Park Service's support marks a significant step toward the realization of the project.
