Judge blocks construction of Trump's massive triumphal arch, shortly after approval by committee

A federal judge in the U.S. has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from starting construction on a massive triumphal arch in Washington D.C. The decision follows the approval from a federal planning commission, which voted 8 to 4 in favor of the project after a lengthy hearing. The arch, intended to be taller than the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, is planned to be located near the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington Cemetery. Opposition comes from local authorities and Virginia, citing concerns about overshadowing the cemetery and lack of Congressional approval. The judge's ruling is a temporary measure for two weeks, allowing further examination of the arguments from both sides. Trump aims to complete the arch before his term ends in two years, as part of a series of significant construction projects in the capital.
