Presidential Project: Judge Halts Work on Trump's Border Wall
Donald Trump wants to build a huge triumphal arch near Arlington Military Cemetery. Opponents of the project achieve an initial success in court.
A US judge has halted work on President Donald Trump's controversial giant triumphal arch for two weeks while the project's legality is reviewed. The city of Washington and the state of Virginia, among others, had taken the project to court. The judge, Tanya Chutkan, made the ruling just after the city's planning commission, which was packed with Trump allies, approved the project.
The planned arch is over 75 meters high and would be larger than Paris' Arc de Triomphe, with concerns raised about its height near a runway at Washington's Reagan airport.
