Trump Says Planned Triumphal Arch Will Double as Military Complex for Weapons Storage
The US president said on Truth Social the 250-foot structure would include drone and ammunition storage and sniper facilities, at the military's request.
US President Donald Trump has proposed a new plan for the triumphal arch he wants built in Washington, DC, saying it will be converted into a "top grade military complex" with drone and ammunition storage space and customized sniper facilities on its roof and plaza, according to The Guardian.
In a post on his Truth Social platform on Sunday, Trump said the new plan came at the "strong request" of the US military, The Guardian reported.
He said the 250-foot structure would be able to "house, store, and have the rapid ability to use large quantities of sniper ammunition in storage," according to the publisher.
