The Federal Aviation Administration on Friday found that President Donald Trump’s proposed new monument in Washington, D.C., does not pose a threat to air safety, allowing plans for the grand arch to advance.

The main structure’s height is around 160 feet, but rises to 250 feet when including a soaring gold-winged figure and two eagles atop the arch.
