(FILES) The site of US President Donald Trump's proposed "triumphal arch," alongside Arlington National Cemetery, and the Memorial Bridge crossing the Potomac River, is seen from the top of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC, November 2, 2026. A US federal judge blocked President Donald Trump's massive triumphal arch project on November 5, 2026, casting doubt over the future of the project hours after it was green-lit by a public commission. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is overseeing the case, ruled that the Trump administration cannot start construction on the arch for two weeks while the court considers challenges to its legality.
