In this clip, President Trump responds to a reporter’s question about plans for a massive new arch in Washington, D.C., confirming that his administration is seriously exploring the idea. Trump notes that for nearly 200 years, leaders have talked about building an arch in the nation’s capital, pointing out that 57 major cities around the world already have one—while Washington does not. He explains that a formal committee is being assembled to review proposals and make recommendations, adding that if the project moves forward, he wants it to be a truly substantial landmark and potentially the largest arch ever built.
