WASHINGTON (CNN) - President Donald Trump unveiled plans this week for a new monument in the nation’s capital, called the “Independence Arch.”

Trump personally came up with the design to commemorate the country’s 250th birthday next summer, according to a White House official.

Small models have been made of the arch, which resembles France’s Arc de Triomphe.

The monument would be placed in a traffic circle near the Arlington Memorial Bridge.

Officials did not immediately share how the project will be funded or a timeline for its construction.
