Designs for Donald Trump's 250-foot (76-meter) "Triumphal Arch" have been unveiled by the White House. Renderings of the ivory-colored arch, resembling the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, were formally submitted ahead of a meeting to advance the project that the president has touted for months. The structure, intended to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States this year, would tower over the approximately 100-foot-tall Lincoln Memorial. It would be the largest federal monument built in Washington DC since Franklin D. Roosevelt oversaw construction of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial in 1943.

The Commission of Fine Arts voted to OK President Donald Trump's plan to build a 250-foot "victory arch" at the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

A federal panel gave concept approval for the 250-foot arch.
