President Donald Trump revealed Wednesday how soon an Arc de Triomphe-style monument will be constructed in the nation's capital to commemorate America’s 250th anniversary in 2026.
Trump on Wednesday said the construction of the monument, nicknamed the "Arc de Trump," will begin "sometime in the next two months," according to a report from Politico.
"It hasn’t started yet. It starts sometime in the next two months. It’ll be great. Everyone loves it," Trump reportedly told the outlet during a phone call from Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Fla. "They love the ballroom too. But they love the Triumphal Arch."
The newest monument, which resembles Paris' historic Arc de Triomphe, will be bankrolled privately, with funds left over from the new White House ballroom project, Fox News Digital previously reported.
