President Donald Trump has unveiled the newly regilded "Arts of War" statues in Washington, D.C., after crews removed the scaffolding that had concealed the golden horse sculptures during months of restoration work. Trump shared the reveal on Truth Social, giving Americans their first proper look at the refurbished monuments near the Lincoln Memorial.

The sculptures, officially titled Arts of War, are longstanding fixtures near the Lincoln Memorial and had been undergoing renovation for several months, during which time they were hidden from public view by scaffolding.
