Trump says his planned triumphal arch will double as a military complex to store ammunition
BBC World reports that plans for Donald Trump's planned triumphal arch have been revised at the request of the US military. The project is now intended to include a military complex for storing ammunition. This is not a new act of war, but a domestic security and infrastructure development in the United States. Against the backdrop of the prolonged Middle East conflict, it also illustrates the increasing visibility of military infrastructure in US national security policy.
