1:29Now PlayingA federal panel has approved of President Trump’s plans to build a 250-foot “victory arch” on the National Mall. The monument would be the largest of its kind in the world.
The project’s lead designer noted the arch would stand 250 feet high to mark 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Meanwhile, a federal judge has ruled that construction work that’s below ground can go forward on Trump’s new White House ballroom. But the judge says all the work being done above ground still has to stop until the work is approved by Congress.
