美国总统唐纳德·特朗普计划在华盛顿特区建造一座高 250 英尺（约 76 米）的凯旋门，该项目目前正接受联邦机构的进一步审查 [1]。国家首都规划委员会（NCPC）的工作人员建议批准该项目的初步选址和总体计划，但要求修改设计方案以符合限制市中心建筑高度的法律 [1]。根据《建筑高度法》的相关规定，新拱门的高度约为华盛顿纪念碑的一半，是林肯纪念堂的两倍多 [1]。
为应对合规性审查，NCPC 工作人员提议重新分配主结构、可居住屋顶结构以及雕像的高度 [1]。特朗普曾提及将使用其筹集的 4 亿美元资金中的未用部分来支付拱门建设费用 [1]。尽管该项目面临反对派的诉讼和公众担忧，但其推进仍受到特朗普盟友在委员会中任职的影响；其中，由特朗普任命的白宫高级助手威尔·沙尔夫（Will Scharf）正领导该规划委员会的工作 [1]。
President Donald Trump plans to construct a 250-foot (76-meter) triumphal arch in the nation's capital, and the project currently faces federal agency review [1]. Staff at the National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) have recommended approval of the preliminary site selection and plan but requested design modifications to comply with laws limiting building heights downtown [1]. Specifically, NCPC staff advised altering the main structure, habitable roof structures, and statue height to meet these restrictions [1]. The proposed arch would stand more than twice as tall as the Lincoln Memorial (99 feet/30 meters) while reaching approximately half the height of the Washington Monument (555 feet/169 meters) [1]. This development occurs despite opposition lawsuits and concerns regarding the project's advancement, which is being influenced by Trump allies serving on the commission [1]. Additionally, Trump appointed Will Scharf as a senior White House aide to lead the planning commission [1], noting that funds from an unspent portion of $40 million raised for the arch could be used for its construction [1]. The project must adhere to the Height of Buildings Act [1].
