President Donald Trump has announced plans to request approximately $2 billion from Congress to fund a comprehensive beautification and restoration project in Washington, D.C. The initiative aims to renovate the city’s streets with high-quality asphalt, improve parks by replacing grass to resemble the landscaping of Trump’s golf clubs, and enhance overall aesthetics. This funding request is part of Trump's broader effort to exert greater federal authority over the nation's capital, including a surge of federal law enforcement and military presence. Trump indicated the project would be executed within a 12-month period and has expressed confidence that Congress is willing to approve the funding. The proposal has drawn attention amid ongoing discussions about the cost and impact of federal deployments in the city.
