The Trump administration has shared renderings for the proposed gold-accented giant victory arch, dubbed by some as the “Arc de Trump”.
The structure is planned to be roughly 250 feet (76.2 meters) tall – one foot for each year since the United States’ independence. Its height would make it more than twice as high as the Lincoln Memorial, which is right across a landmark bridge from the arch’s proposed location. It would be the tallest triumphal arch in the world.
BBC’s Ione Wells explains why the plan is controversial.
