Key Facts

Trump posted a rendering by Harrison Design architecture firm that shows a sketch of the stone arch, topped with a golden winged angel and two eagles.

Harrison Design partner and principal Nicolas Leo Charbonneau shared the same image on X in September and said it was “a proposal for a triumphal arch in DC for #America250,” adding “America needs a triumphal arch!”

Earlier this week, a 3D mockup of the arch photographed on Trump’s desk in the Oval Office shows it positioned across the Potomac River in Arlington, Virginia, at a traffic roundabout known as Memorial Circle facing the Lincoln Memorial.

The arch, resembling Paris’ Arc de Triomphe and the Grand Army Plaza Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Memorial Arch in Brooklyn, which in turn take their designs from arches constructed by the ancient Romans, appears taller than the Lincoln Memorial in the mock up pictured in the Oval Office.

According to the Washington Post, National Civic Art Society president Justin Shubow proposed the arch to Trump to mark America’s 250th anniversary on July 4 next year.

What We Don’t Know

Virtually any details apart from the idea. It is not clear how much it would cost to build the arch, how much time it would take to construct or exact plans for its dimensions.

Chief Critic

Architect and former University of Maryland and Catholic University professor Eric Jenkins told The Architect’s Newspaper the monument could “disrupt a symbolic connection” between “the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington House and Arlington National Cemetery’s ‘most hallowed ground.’”

Key Background

Trump has made numerous aesthetic changes to the White House, including adorning the Oval Office in gold fixtures, and paving over the Rose Garden to resemble the patio at Mar-a-Lago. The Trump administration also announced plans in July for a $200 million ballroom larger than the actual White House. The Trump administration has said private donations would pay for the ballroom.

Bitcoin Money Laundering Penalties Surge, Brokers Must Comply in Brazil

The post Bitcoin Money Laundering Penalties Surge, Brokers Must Comply in Brazil appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Brazil increases penalties against Bitcoin laundering, requiring the cooperation of crypto brokers in the fight against digital crime by 2025. Brazil has made strong efforts in disabling money laundering using Bitcoin. Penalties are enhanced by the new law. Crypto brokers and tech firms also have to collaborate with it. In September 2025, the bill was presented by Deputy Domingos Neto. It amends the current legislation to combat digital crime more effectively.  This is indicative of the fast development of cryptocurrency-based crimes.

Cryptocurrencies: Money laundering is expressly illegal. In case laundering is carried out through such digital groups, the penalty is raised by 33 to 66 percent.  These actions represent the realization of Brazil that cryptocurrency is a significant path to illegal money. Crypto Brokers Are Subjected to Tight Cooperation According to the new law, the cooperation of crypto brokers, internet providers, banks, and technology companies with the police and the judiciary is compulsory.
