Kennedy family lawsuit to block Trump's Washington arch

US President Donald Trump honoured the nation's veterans in remarks at Arlington National Cemetery on Wednesday, pledging the country's "utmost loyalty and devotion" and offering the "highest salute" as well as dedicating an arch to them.

Trump said, "Our veterans have answered every call, met every threat, crushed every foe, and borne every burden of war so that our children might know every single blessing of peace

and love. And soon, we're going to dedicate a magnificent, triumphal arch to our veterans, and that's in honour of our great veterans and our great militaries.

They've been waiting for it for 200 years.

Trump's appearance at the ceremony comes a day after nine Kennedy family members joined several lawsuits seeking to block construction of the arch, saying the towering 77-meter arch

would cast a shadow over their relatives' gravesites there, including the one of former president John F. Kennedy.
