Washington, D.C., officials including Donnell Harvin warned that President Donald Trump’s proposal to use his planned 250 foot triumphal arch for munitions storage, snipers and drones while also operating it as a tourist attraction would make the monument a potential terrorist target, impede flight paths and endanger lives. Trump has described the project at Memorial Circle as a “triumphal arch/military complex” with “tremendous drone capability” and “sniper or shooter capability,” while Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called it a “generational national defense opportunity.”
