US President Donald Trump stated that the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool may need to be drained for repairs due to vandalism, which he alleged included corrosive chemicals being poured into it. Several arrests have been made.
US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that much of the water at the newly renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington “probably” has to be drained for repairs following what he called “vandalism” of the site.
“We met with contractors today, will probably be forced to release and drain much of the water in order to do the necessary repairs, but will have them done as quickly as possible,” Trump wrote in a post on social media.
Several alleged vandals have been arrested, according to Trump.
“Many additional people have been arrested having to do with the disgraceful Vandalism of our beautiful Reflecting Pool,” he said.
Trump did not provide evidence to support his allegation of vandalism, which he said included someone pouring corrosive chemicals into the pool.
“No different than the chemicals that were used on the National Mall, they used something similar in the Reflecting Pool to try to destroy and demean our beautiful work,” he posted on social media.
