'Permanent repair' to Reflecting Pool to come around July 4, Trump says

President Trump announced that the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool will undergo another draining for comprehensive repairs around July 4. The pool, which has been a site for historic protests and speeches, has faced issues that have required temporary fixes in the past. This move aims to address longstanding concerns and ensure the site remains in good condition for future gatherings. The timing around the Fourth of July is notable, as it's a major national holiday and a time when many Americans reflect on the nation's history and values.
