WASHINGTON, DC - JUNE 23: A large area where sealant or paint has peeled up to reveal the concrete bottom of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is seen on the south side of the basin on the National Mall on June 23, 2026 in Washington, DC. U.S. President Donald Trump said that another round of repairs to the iconic basin will begin immediately after peeling paint and other issues were seen following the completion of its recent $14 million no-bid restoration project.
