Trump Plans Renovation of Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool

President Trump revealed plans to renovate the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool with a new 'American flag blue' surface, costing approximately $1.5 million.
The renovation is part of Trump's broader initiative to beautify Washington, D.C., which has faced criticism from preservationists and Democrats.
The Reflecting Pool, a historic site linked to major civil rights events, was last renovated in 2012 with $34 million in funding from the Obama administration.
