Trump announces location for D.C. sculpture garden
President Donald Trump has announced plans for a sculpture garden honoring prominent Americans in Washington, D.C.’s West Potomac Park.
The area is located along the Potomac River, near the Lincoln Memorial and not far from the National Mall. The park is also home to several fields and volleyball courts.
In a social media post on Friday, the president said the National Garden of American Heroes would feature statues of “our illustrious founding fathers, military warriors, religious leaders and more.”
But there are questions about whether the project would need congressional approval, given that the area is on federal land.
