The Trump administration has shared renderings for a proposed **gold-accented giant victory arch**, which some have dubbed the “Arc de Trump”. This ambitious structure is planned to be approximately **250 feet (76.2 meters) tall**, symbolizing one foot for each year since the United States’ independence.
\nIts impressive height would make it more than twice as high as the Lincoln Memorial, located just across a landmark bridge from the arch’s proposed site. If constructed, it would claim the title of the **tallest triumphal arch in the world**.
\nBBC’s Ione Wells provides insights into the reasons behind the controversy surrounding this plan.
