Speaking at his Cabinet meeting, Mr. Trump said he and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum are looking to replace the fountain at the memorial as part of the renovations.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow we\u2019re looking at the World War II fountain because that\u2019s also in pretty bad shape on the bottom. I think we\u2019re going to duplicate it with a slightly different color. Maybe we\u2019ll go with a lighter color,\u201d Mr. Trump said, drawing a contrast between the color he\u2019s planning for the memorial and his recent repainting of the Reflecting Pool.<\/p>\n

Since the start of his second term, Mr. Trump \u2014 a longtime real estate developer before becoming president \u2014 has announced or begun a number of construction projects across the nation\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n

He resurfaced the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, changing its gray bottom with a shade that he described as American flag blue; launched a battle to take control of the city\u2019s three public golf courses; proposed building a sculpture garden honoring America\u2019s heroes; proposed the Triumphal Arch at the Arlington Memorial Bridge; began construction on a 90,000-square-foot ballroom; and shuttered the Trump Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts for a year-long renovation project.<\/p>\n

Several of these proposals have sparked legal challenges and anger from city residents while federal planning agencies, filled with Trump allies, push them forward.<\/p>\n

The World War II Memorial opened in April 2004. It was closed earlier this year for repairs and is scheduled to reopen soon, the U.S. Park Service said.<\/p>\n
