US President Donald Trump has revealed the real reason behind building a 250-foot high arch near Arlington Cemetery.

The US President has said yesterday that the Memorial Arch to be built near Arlington National Cemetery in Washington will also be used as a military complex, where drones and snipers can be deployed and large amounts of ammunition will be stored.

President Trump cited national security concerns for the move.

“At the strong request of the military, I have agreed to convert the 250-foot (76 m) tall arch into an advanced military complex/memorial arch,” Trump wrote in a post on social media.

They say that there will be a facility to keep, store and use a large number of drones in case of need.

The US President said that snipers will also be able to be deployed on the rooftop and plaza areas, in addition to storing large amounts of ammunition for snipers.
