Washington: US President Donald Trump has shared a picture of India Gate on his social media account. In the caption of the picture, he wrote, "India's beautiful Triumph Arch. Ours will be the most magnificent of them all!" It is unclear from Trump's post what he is referring to, but it is believed that he wants to build a similar monument in Washington D.C. This is why he has apparently taken notice of this British-era monument in Delhi.
It is believed that Trump wants to immortalize his name by building a victory monument in Washington D.C. In the first year of his second term as president, he tried to establish himself as a peacemaker. In every public speech, he claimed credit for stopping at least eight wars. After that, he tried to establish America's growing power by imposing tariffs on countries around the world. Trump calls this the golden age of America in his speeches. It is possible that this is why he is planning to build a victory monument.
Trump is also issuing threats of military action against countries he considers enemies of the US. On January 3, the US military, under his orders, launched a military operation in Venezuela. As a result, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife were abducted and brought to the US, where they are now facing trial. Trump is also warning Iran, Cuba, and Colombia of military action. He has also deployed a massive military force near Iran.
India Gate, located on Kartavya Path in New Delhi, is a monument built by the British. It is 42 meters tall. It was built in memory of approximately 70,000-90,000 Indian soldiers who were martyred in World War I (1914-1918) and the Third Anglo-Afghan War. India Gate was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens. Construction began in 1921 and was completed in 1931.
