Story summary
- U.S. President Donald Trump has proposed a 250-foot gold-trimmed triumphal arch at the Arlington Memorial Bridge in Washington, D.C.
- The plan also calls for a dark-blue reflecting pool and fountains that together would cost tens of millions.
- Critics argue the arch could add tens of millions to already expensive fountain and pool renovations.
- Preservation groups say the bridge commemorates post-Civil War reunification, making the proposed arch historically incongruous.
