Trump's Triumphal Arch design review
The commission, composed largely of Trump appointees, asked for revisions to the plans, including the potential removal of gold-plated statues.
The arch is planned for Columbia Island, a man-made strip of land in the Potomac River managed by the National Park Service.
Critics have panned the project for its scale and cost, with some labeling it a 'vanity arch' for the president.
Despite the public backlash, the project appears poised to move forward as part of the administration's 'bold vision' for the capital.
