Trump Orders Inspection of Washington DC Reflecting Pool Amid Concerns Over Algae and Vandalism

Former US President Donald Trump has reportedly ordered an inspection of the Washington DC Reflecting Pool following concerns over algae buildup and alleged vandalism.

According to the directive, the inspection will assess the condition of the iconic landmark, including water quality issues and signs of physical damage or neglect. The move comes amid broader discussions about the maintenance of major public monuments and infrastructure in the capital.

Officials and maintenance teams are expected to evaluate the extent of the algae growth and recommend necessary restoration or cleaning measures if required.

The Reflecting Pool, located between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument, is one of the most visited landmarks in the US capital and undergoes regular maintenance by federal agencies.
