Taxpayers will help fund Independence Arch, or socalled "Arc de Trump," plans indicate
"Washington — American taxpayers will help fund the construction of President Trump's planned triumphal arch in Arlington, Virginia, according to the spending plan for the National Endowment for the Humanities released by the administration this week.
According to the endowment's spending plan approved by the Office of Management and Budget in September, $2 million in special initiative funds and $13 million in matching funds "are reserved for the arch." The National Endowment for the Humanities, an independent federal agency, often funds projects through a combination of federal dollars and matching private contributions. NOTUS first reported that taxpayer funds are expected to be used for the arch.
It's not yet clear what private funds may go toward Independence Arch, though the president previously indicated that leftover private funds from his White House ballroom addition could be used. The White House has not yet disclosed an estimated cost for the arch. The president has said the massive ballroom he's building at the White House at a cost of $300 million to $400 million will be funded entirely by private donors, in contrast to the arch."
