The Arc de Trump refers to a proposed monument in Washington, DC, tied to President Trump’s America 250th anniversary plans. Reports from late 2025 and early 2026 described renderings and official briefings about a large triumphal arch near Arlington Memorial Bridge, with various outlets presenting details about its height, design inspirations, and potential site at Memorial Circle near Arlington National Cemetery.

Public discussion has covered design features such as a tall arch (reported around 250 feet in some renderings), a prominent statue/feature inspired by the Arc de Triomphe, and the intended symbolism for America’s 250th anniversary. The status and approvals have varied by agency and legal context, with some coverage noting CFA and NCPC involvement and related court rulings affecting implementation timelines.
