The 'United States Triumphal Arch' has been officially named by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. This monumental structure, standing 250 feet tall, is being built to commemorate the 250th anniversary of US independence. Featuring a large golden Lady Liberty statue on top, it will surpass the 164-foot Arc de Triomphe in Paris, making it the largest arch in the world.
