U.S. President Donald Trump has said he approved plans to turn a planned triumphal arch near Arlington Memorial Bridge in Washington, D.C., into a military complex.

Axar.az reports that, in a post on his Truth Social account, Trump stated that the decision was made at the request of the U.S. military and for national security purposes. He said the facility would be unique and argued that Washington, D.C., was the only one among the world’s 59 major cities and capitals without a triumphal arch.

“At the strong request of the United States Military, and for National Security purposes, I have agreed to convert the magnificent Triumphal Arch, planned since the Civil War Era many years ago, at the Receptive Circle adjoining the Arlington Memorial Bridge, into a top grade Military Complex/Triumphal Arch, to house, store, and have the rapid ability to use large numbers of drones, plus Snipers, on both the roof and plaza areas, and additionally have and hold large quantities of sniper ammunition in storage,” Trump wrote.

“There will be no facility like this anywhere in the World,” Trump added.
