Nevin Al Sukari - Sana'a - The Washington Monument is visible as Nadine Seiler of Waldorf, Maryland holds a sign that reads "Team Algae" in front of the Reflecting Pool on the National Mall on July 9, 2026 in Washington, DC. Green water remained in the chain-link fence-enclosed Reflecting Pool on Thursday after Interior Secretary Doug Burgum announced Sunday that crews would drain the pool for a second time in three months for repairs and cleanup following months of maintenance issues, as protesters gathered outside the arraignment hearing of former Olympian David Hearn, who is accused of damaging the landmark. — Getty Images via AFP pic
WASHINGTON, July 14 — US President Donald Trump said today the newly renovated Reflecting Pool in Washington was drained for repairs, after the project has faced a series of setbacks, including alleged vandalism.
The renovation of the pool next to the US capital’s Lincoln Memorial is a pet project of Trump’s, but the remodel has been dogged by the growth of algae and peeling paint which the president alleges is the work of vandals.
“We drained the beautiful ‘Reflecting Pool’ today in order to fix the scars and damage that was done by the Vandals two weeks ago,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform late yesterday, adding that they waited until after the July Fourth holiday to drain the pool.
“The Parks Department had to empty the water in order to fix the water tight basin. It will be refilled and put back into service soon.”
Among those accused of vandalizing the Reflecting Pool is David Hearn, a former slalom canoeist who competed for the United States at the Olympics. He pleaded not guilty to vandalism charges last week.
The Reflecting Pool is one of several beautification projects in Washington championed by Trump, with the painting and sealing project estimated to cost at least US$14 million (RM57 million).
Soon after completion of the work, the coating began to peel off and algae turned the pool’s water a mucky green — setbacks Trump has repeatedly blamed on vandals, without providing evidence. — AFP
