The White House is responding to reports that President Trump wants a 250-foot-tall “Independence Arch" in Washington, D.C., saying the monument would be among the most iconic in the world.

"The Arch is going to be one of the most iconic landmarks not only in Washington, D.C., but throughout the world," White House spokesman Davis Ingle said. "President Trump’s bold vision will be imprinted upon the fabric of America and be felt by generations to come. His successes will continue to give the greatest Nation on earth — America — the glory it deserves."
The renewed attention follows reporting by The Washington Post, which said that Trump has expressed a preference for an Independence Arch that could rise as high as 250 feet, a scale that would dramatically alter the skyline near Arlington Memorial Bridge.
