Trump arch Lincoln Memorial bridge Washington.

President Donald Trump plans to leave his mark on the nation’s capital by building a Paris-like arch at one of the entrances to the District of Columbia. The Republican president unveiled the plan at a White House dinner on Wednesday for the wealthy businesspeople who have pledged money toward the $250 million cost of adding a ballroom to the Executive Mansion. The arch would be built on federal land west of the Lincoln Memorial, on the Washington side of the Memorial Bridge, near Arlington, Virginia. The proposed arch bears a striking resemblance to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
