US president Donald Trump has announced that the planned 250-foot-high triumphal arch in Washington DC, designed by Atlanta-based Harrison Design, will now be a military base with drones and snipers. According to Trump, who announced the plan in a Truth Social post yesterday, the change in the design was made at the request of the US military. "At the strong request of the United States military, and for national security purposes, I have agreed to convert the magnificent triumphal arch... into a top grade military complex/triumphal arch," he said. Set to be built alongside the Arlington Memorial Bridge on the south bank of the Potomac River, the neoclassical arch is planned to be 250 feet high (76 metres) – nearly 100 feet (30 metres) higher than the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Plans for the arch were first revealed last October, with US interior secretary Doug Burgum announcing that construct was about to begin earlier this month. It will be used to launch drones and house snipers Donald Trump has announced that the planned arch in Washington DC will become a "top grade military complex"
