The Kennedy family demands a ban on the construction of Trump's triumphal arch.
Nine family members of former US President John F. Kennedy have joined the lawsuit against the construction of Donald Trump's Triumphal Arch in Washington, writes the New York Times.
Trump plans to build a 76-meter arch between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington Cemetery, where American military personnel are buried, as well as John F. Kennedy, his brothers Robert and Edward and other family members.
In a statement, the Kennedy family said that the arch will disrupt "a line of sight intended to symbolize the unification of the country after the civil war and has been standing for nearly a century" and will also cast a shadow over the graves of the former president's relatives and "soldiers who gave their lives for the country."

In the past, veterans, historians and local authorities spoke out against the bow. However, the National Capital Planning Commission of the United States, loyal to Trump, approved the project.
On November 6, federal judge Tanya Chetken blocked the start of construction for 14 days. During this period, the courts must discuss the lawsuits filed against the project.
