华盛顿——据本届政府本周公布的美国国家人文基金会预算方案，美国纳税人将出资协助特朗普总统在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿县修建计划中的凯旋拱门。
根据管理和预算办公室9月批准的该基金会预算方案，200万美元专项启动资金和1300万美元配套资金“将专门用于该拱门项目”。作为独立联邦机构的国家人文基金会通常会结合联邦资金与私人配套捐款资助项目。NOTUS网站率先报道称，该拱门预计将使用纳税人资金。
目前尚不清楚将有多少私人资金投入独立拱门项目，不过特朗普总统此前曾暗示，可使用其白宫宴会厅扩建项目剩余的私人捐款。白宫尚未披露该拱门的预计造价。特朗普总统曾表示，他正在白宫修建的大型宴会厅造价在3亿至4亿美元之间，将完全由私人捐助者出资，这与拱门项目形成鲜明对比。
管理和预算办公室与国家人文基金会未立即回应置评请求。
特朗普总统表示，该拱门将纪念美国建国250周年，他此前曾在椭圆形办公室展示过该拱门的模型。效果图与模型显示，这座拱门与法国凯旋门造型相似，将坐落于华盛顿特区波托马克河弗吉尼亚一侧，正对林肯纪念堂。特朗普总统称，他希望这座拱门成为世界“最大的凯旋拱门”，尽管拟建场地毗邻附近里根国家机场的飞行航线。
“这是世界上所有重要城市中唯一一座没有凯旋拱门的城市，”特朗普总统去年12月表示，“……这座拱门将远超所有同类建筑。人们最熟悉的当属法国巴黎的凯旋门，我们的拱门将会比它宏伟得多，我认为远超很多。”
去年10月，哥伦比亚广播公司新闻记者埃德·奥基夫询问特朗普总统这座拱门是为谁而建，他回应道：“为我。会非常漂亮。”在特朗普称拱门是为自己所建后，有人将其戏称为“特朗普凯旋门”。

Independence Arch, or so-called “Arc de Trump,” plans include taxpayer funds

Washington— American taxpayers will help fund the construction of President Trump’s planned triumphal arch in Arlington, Virginia, according to the spending plan for the National Endowment for the Humanities released by the administration this week.
According to the endowment’s spending plan approved by the Office of Management and Budget in September, $2 million in special initiative funds and $13 million in matching funds “are reserved for the arch.” NEH, an independent federal agency, often funds projects through a combination of federal dollars and matching private contributions. NOTUS first reported that taxpayer funds are expected to be used for the arch.
It’s not yet clear what private funds may go toward Independence Arch, though the president previously indicated that leftover private funds from his White House ballroom addition could be used. The White House has not yet disclosed an estimated cost for the arch. The president has said the massive ballroom he’s building at the White House at a cost of $300 million to $400 million will be funded entirely by private donors, in contrast to the arch.
OMB and NEH did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The president says the arch will commemorate the nation’s 250th anniversary, and he’s previously displayed a model in the Oval Office. The renderings and model show an arc resembling France’s Arc de Triomphe sitting across from the Lincoln Memorial on the Virginia side of the Potomac River by Washington, D.C. The president said he wants the arch to be the “biggest one of all” in the world, even though the proposed site is situated along a flight path for nearby Reagan National Airport.
“It’s the only city in the world that’s of great importance that doesn’t have a triumphal arc,” the president said in December. “… And this one is going to blow them all away. The one that people know mostly is the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France. And we’re going to top it by I think a lot.”
When CBS News’ Ed O’Keefe asked the president in October whom the arch is for, he responded, “Me. Going to be beautiful.” After the president said the arch was for him, some nicknamed it the “Arc de Trump.”
