+++ US-Midterms +++: US-Richterin stoppt Trumps Triumphbogen vorerst

A US judge has suspended work on the controversial massive presidential arch built by Donald Trump. The halt is initially set for two weeks while the project's legality is examined. The challenge includes the city of Washington and the bordering state of Virginia. Just prior to Judge Tanya Chutkan's decision, the city's planning commission, already dominated by Trump allies, approved the project.

Protesters during a lengthy debate argued against the arch. Bigger than the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, the design is criticized for including a nearby taxi lane on the runway of Washington's Reagan Airport. Trump has launched several controversial architectural projects during his second term, including tearing down the East Wing of the White House to build a vast ballroom, and plans to renovate a historic golf course in Washington.
