President Donald Trump says he plans to create a sculpture garden featuring statues of prominent Americans in a park along the Potomac River. The proposal is described as an exhibit meant for Washington’s monumental core, with the location set along the river. PBS reports the plan would be placed in a tightly regulated area, where major projects typically follow specific approvals procedures.
According to PBS, the announcement could trigger a new legal dispute over whether the administration is following the usual review and approval process for developments in the district’s central park area. The other outlets describe the plan more directly, focusing on Trump’s statement that such a statues exhibit is planned for the Potomac River park. The reports do not provide details on the timing, the specific individuals to be honored, or the full approval status of the project.
