Trump's arch, which is intended to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, will be 250 feet (about 76 meters) tall, significantly higher than the White House (about 70 feet, or 21 meters) and the Lincoln Memorial (about 100 feet, or 30 meters). This height has raised concerns among some architectural experts who initially supported the construction of the arch, as they had expected a much smaller arch. According to Trump's plan, this arch will be built on a small piece of land between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery. Trump had considered arch designs of 165 feet and 123 feet, but he now favors a taller design, aiming to create an impressive effect and emphasizing that a height of 250 feet is the most meaningful way to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the nation's founding.

Iran announced that it will conduct live-fire naval exercises in the Strait of Hormuz starting from Sunday for two days, while the U.S. warned the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps against "unsafe actions." The U.S. Central Command stated that the U.S. will not tolerate "unsafe" operations, such as flying over U.S. warships or Iranian speedboats approaching in a direction that could collide with U.S. ships. "Any unsafe, unprofessional behavior increases the risk of collision, escalation of conflict, and regional instability," the U.S. said. The U.S. has requested that Iran's live-fire exercises do not interfere with freedom of navigation and international commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
