Domstol sätter stopp för Trumps nya triumfbåge
En domare i USA har stoppat Donald Trumps planer på att bygga en 76 meter hög triumfbåge i Washington, rapporterar flera medier.
Under torsdagen tog administrationen flera steg mot byggstart, men efter domstolens besked pausas projektet nu i minst 14 dagar.
AP och Wall Street Journal beskriver beslutet som ett stort bakslag för Trumps planer på att förändra den amerikanska huvudstadens utseende.

The United States Triumphal Arch or Independence Arch is a triumphal arch proposed by Donald Trump in 2025 that would be located on Columbia Island in Washington, D.C., United States. The 250-foot-tall (76 m) arch would celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence.
The site is Memorial Circle, a traffic circle on Memorial Drive between the end of the Arlington Memorial Bridge and Arlington National Cemetery. It is directly across the Potomac River from the Lincoln Memorial at the west end of the National Mall. Surveying work started in mid-May 2026 and excavation work is scheduled to begin in September 2026. A lawsuit was filed in February 2026 to halt construction before the required approval from the United States Congress and government agencies.
The arch has been referred to by some media outlets as the "Arc de Trump" (a play on the "Arc de Triomphe" located in Paris, France and Donald Trump, the 45th and 47th president of the United States) .
