President Trump will participate in a wreath-laying ceremony and deliver remarks at Arlington National Cemetery this morning to commemorate Veterans Day.
Trump will be joined by First Lady Melania Trump and Vice President JD Vance for the ceremony.
The 639-acre Arlington National Cemetery, where over 400,000 service members, veterans, and their families are buried, has been the center of controversy lately surrounding Trump’s Triumphal Arch, which would overlook the cemetery and the Lincoln Memorial across the Potomac River.
The Trump Administration is currently battling a lawsuit before Obama-appointed District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan over the proposed arch.
The Kennedy family joined Washington, DC and Virginia in the lawsuit this week.
More from the Hill:
In a Monday court filing in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, members of the Kennedy family requested that the court bar the Trump administration “from taking any steps to approve, authorize, or construct the Arch absent congressional authorization, designation by Congress of a sponsor, and compliance with all statutory requirements.”
“President Donald J. Trump is attempting to unlawfully erect a massive arch that will permanently cast shadows over and damage historically significant sightlines to the existing gravesites and memorials established in the Kennedy family’s honor at Arlington National Cemetery, as well as to the memorials of hundreds of thousands of fallen American heroes,” the filing reads.
Last Thursday, a federal judge ordered a pause on the construction of Trump’s triumphal arch for two weeks.
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan’s temporary restraining order followed shortly after the National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) voted in favor of the administration’s plans to erect the arch between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery.
Trump is scheduled to participate in the ceremony at 11 AM ET then deliver remarks at 11:30 AM.
