A U.S. judge has issued a 14‑day pause on the construction of the so‑called “Arc de Trump” project in Washington, DC, effectively halting work on the proposed monument.

The court order was issued to stop the building of the arch, a structure that had been planned as a tribute to former President Donald Trump. The pause will give the parties involved time to address legal challenges that have been raised against the project.

Details about the design and intended location of the arch remain limited, but the project has attracted attention from local residents and preservation groups who have expressed concerns about its impact on the city’s historic landscape.

Until the 14‑day suspension expires, construction crews are prohibited from proceeding, and the project’s future will depend on the outcome of the ongoing legal proceedings.
