Trump-appointed commission greenlights 76-metre 'Trump Arch' in Washington

The U.S. Commission of Fine Arts has approved plans for a 76-metre-tall structure known as the 'Trump Arch' in Washington. The project received the green light from a commission appointed by President Trump himself.

A landmark architectural project in Washington D.C. has cleared a major regulatory hurdle after the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts gave its approval to the so-called 'Trump Arch' — a towering 76-metre structure planned for the American capital.

The commission, whose members were appointed by President Donald Trump, voted to approve the ambitious project. The arch, if constructed, would become one of the most prominent monuments in Washington's already iconic skyline.

At 76 metres tall, the proposed Trump Arch would be a substantial addition to the capital's architectural landscape. The project has attracted attention both for its scale and for the circumstances of its approval, given that the reviewing body was stacked with Trump's own appointees.

The Commission of Fine Arts plays a key advisory role in reviewing the design of buildings, monuments, and public spaces in Washington D.C. Its endorsement marks a significant step forward for the project, though further approvals and construction steps would still be required before any ground is broken.
