Trump suggests his arch will house drones, snipers, ammunition

President Donald Trump said he would modify plans for a large triumphal arch in Washington, D.C. by adding staging areas for U.S. military snipers and launching drones. In a Sunday social media post, Trump described it as a “Military Complex/Triumphal Arch,” saying it would “house, store” a rapid ability to use large numbers of drones, along with snipers on both the roof and plaza areas, and store “large quantities of sniper ammunition.” It was unclear what triggered the post or how much the design and scale would change. The proposal would be built in Memorial Circle near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, where safety lighting has been cleared by the FAA.
