A model on President Trump’s desk showing a new monument across the Potomac River from the Lincoln Memorial was photographed on Thursdayduring a meeting in the Oval Office with Finnish Prime Minister Alexander Stubb.
The arch bared a resemblance to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, which was built to commemorate French military victories and those killed in French military service.
According to the AFP news agency, the model was “virtually identical” to a design shared in the ‘Donald Trump for President’ Facebook page in September. The Facebook page suggested the monument could be built to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States, which takes place in 2026.
