President Trump on Sunday said that the plans for the massive triumphal arch bridging Washington, D.C., and Virginia will incorporate a “top grade military complex.”
Trump said in a Truth Social post that this change to the arch was at the request of the U.S. military “for National Security purposes.”
“I have agreed to convert the magnificent Triumphal Arch, planned since the Civil War Era many years ago, at the Receptive Circle adjoining the Arlington Memorial Bridge, into a top grade Military Complex/Triumphal Arch, to house, store, and have the rapid ability to use large numbers of drones, plus Snipers, on both the roof and plaza areas, and additionally have and hold large quantities of sniper ammunition in storage,” Trump wrote.
He added that the complex will be like none “anywhere in the World.”
“Out of the 59 top cities and Capitals, Washington, D.C., IS THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD THAT DOES NOT HAVE A TRIUMPHAL ARCH, but it will now and, by far, the greatest of them all!” his post concludes.
