20 Haziran 2026France 24

The Reflecting Pool on Washington's National Mall has turned green due to algae growth, shortly after a renovation ordered by Donald Trump. The pool was recently painted in a blue reminiscent of the American flag, but the paint has already begun to peel off within two weeks of reopening.
This incident raises concerns about the quality and durability of the renovation work.
The Reflecting Pool is a significant landmark in Washington, D.C., serving as a site for reflection and remembrance. The recent renovations aimed to enhance its aesthetic appeal, but the quick failure of the paint raises questions about the oversight of such projects and their long-term impact on historical sites.
The rapid deterioration of the Reflecting Pool's paint highlights potential issues with the renovation process undertaken by the Trump administration. It reflects a broader trend of neglect in maintaining national monuments, which are critical to American heritage.
