The US Commission of Fine Arts, appointed by President Trump, has approved the design for a 250-foot Independence Arch near Arlington National Cemetery to commemorate America's 250th anniversary. The arch faces legal challenges from veterans concerned about obstructed views of Arlington Cemetery. The project is part of Trump's broader efforts to reshape Washington, D.C.'s landmarks.
