> Donald Trump’s plan to build a 250-foot Triumphal Arch near Arlington National Cemetery appears to be advancing after a federal historic-preservation council ended required consultations with local officials. Democratic Senator Tammy Duckworth called plans to use the structure for defence “foolhardy” and another Trump “vanity project”. Excavation work may already have begun at the site near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
