Green light for Trump's triumphal arch, but judge immediately halts construction

A U.S. judge has halted the construction of a triumphal arch in Washington, D.C., proposed by President Trump, just after a commission approved it. The arch, intended as a tribute to American history and veterans, is planned to be 76 meters tall, surpassing the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Opponents argue it obstructs views of Arlington National Cemetery and question its legality due to lack of Congressional approval. Despite initial approval from the National Capital Planning Commission, a federal judge ordered a two-week pause to review arguments from both sides. The White House criticized the ruling, expressing confidence in a favorable outcome for the project, which Trump hopes to complete by the end of his presidential term.
