President Donald Trump has started several large construction and renovation projects across the U.S. capital, changing both the White House grounds and various national landmarks.

川普總統在美國首都啟動了幾項大型建設與翻修工程，改變了白宮區域及多個國家地標。

The administration's main plan focuses on building a 90,000-square-foot ballroom, which requires tearing down the White House East Wing. Although the executive branch first claimed that private donations of $400 million would pay for the project, later requests for $1 billion in security funding from Congress have caused political tension. Furthermore, a report by Public Citizen suggests a conflict of interest, noting that more than half of the donors received larger federal contracts after the project began. While the National Trust for Historic Preservation has filed legal challenges, a federal appeals court recently allowed underground work to continue.

政府的主要計劃集中在興建一座 90,000 平方英尺的舞會廳，這需要拆除白宮東翼。雖然行政部門最初聲稱 4 億美元的私人捐款將支付該項目，但隨後向國會申請 10 億美元的安保資金，引發了政治緊張局勢。此外，Public Citizen 的一份報告指出存在利益衝突， noting 提到超過半數的捐贈者在項目開始後獲得了更大規模的聯邦合約。儘管國家歷史保護信託基金會已提起法律挑戰，但聯邦上訴法院最近允許地下工程繼續進行。

At the same time, the administration has completed several public works projects. For example, the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was resurfaced with a color called 'American flag blue.' However, there are disagreements regarding the cost; the president stated it cost about $2 million, whereas federal records show contracts totaling approximately $14.8 million. Additionally, the administration wants to build a 250-foot arch on the Potomac River and restore fountains in Lafayette Park and Meridian Hill Park. These projects have used 'no-bid' contracts, which has led to criticism from Congress due to high costs.

與此同時，政府已完成幾項公共工程。例如，林肯紀念館的反思池重新鋪設了名為「美國國旗藍」的顏色。然而，關於成本存在分歧；總統表示花費約 200 萬美元，而聯邦記錄顯示合約總額約為 1,480 萬美元。此外，政府希望在波托馬克河上興建一座 250 英尺高的拱門，並修復拉法葉公園與梅里迪安山公園的噴泉。這些項目採用了「免比價」合約，因成本高昂而遭到國會批評。

Other changes include turning the Rose Garden into a paved patio and creating a 'Presidential Walk of Fame.' The administration also managed the rebranding of the Kennedy Center, though this was briefly stopped by a court ruling. Most recently, a temporary UFC arena was built on the South Lawn for a June 14 event. The president mentioned that this could become a permanent building, comparing it to how the Eiffel Tower became a permanent landmark.

其他變動包括將玫瑰園改造成鋪設路面的露台，並創建一個「總統名人大道」。政府還負責肯尼迪中心的品牌重塑，儘管這曾被法院裁定暫時停止。最近，南草坪為了 6 月 14 日的活動興建了一個臨時 UFC 競技場。總統提到這可能會變成永久建築，將其比作艾菲爾鐵塔如何成為永久地標。

Washington, D.C. is currently defined by constant construction and serious legal and political arguments regarding the permission and funding of these projects.

目前的華盛頓特區以不斷的建設，以及關於這些項目許可與資金的嚴重法律和政治爭論為特徵。
