      <description><![CDATA[A federal judge temporarily blocked construction of President Donald Trump's proposed 250-foot memorial arch in Washington, D.C., shortly after the National Capital Planning Commission approved the project by an 8-4 vote. The arch, intended to reshape the capital and located near Arlington National Cemetery, faces legal challenges from Virginia, the District of Columbia, veterans, and preservationists citing concerns over legality, location, and impact on national landmarks.
