Trump’s massive proposed arch faces scrutiny from Congress, courts

President Donald Trump is poised to begin building a 250-foot-tall arch — the moment a federal court lifts an order pausing its construction.

Trump continues to want the arch, potentially emblazoned with his slogan, “Golden Age of America,” built outside the gates of Arlington National Cemetery, administration officials say. To do so, however, he’ll have to navigate new roadblocks: an incoming Congress that has vowed to oppose his projects, federal judges wary of how Trump outraced the courts to build his White House ballroom and growing resistance from Washington’s residents and leaders.
