The Kennedy family opposes the construction of Trump's Triumphal Arch.

The Kennedy family opposes the construction of Trump's Triumphal Arch.

Nine relatives of former US President John F. Kennedy have joined lawsuits against the construction of a 76-meter-long arch in Washington. They believe the structure will block historic views of Arlington Cemetery and cast a shadow over family graves, including the John F. Kennedy, as well as US military graves.

Trump plans to build an arch between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington Cemetery. The White House says the building should become a memorial to the US military.

On November 6, federal judge Tanya Chetken temporarily banned the start of construction for 14 days, until November 19. During this period, the court will consider the demands of the project's opponents.
