US morning overview: Arrest before Trump visit, agency warns against building of Triumph Arch

Authorities apprehended an armed man on a Donald Trump golf course in California shortly before the US president's arrival. Police announced the arrest of a 38-year-old man on Sunday, stating he was found with a loaded pistol and ammunition. A subsequent search of his residence revealed a rifle, a bulletproof vest, more ammunition, two radios, and "several notebooks with concerning statements."

In other news, the US Department of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth refuted a CNN report claiming the military had depleted nearly 80% of its interceptor missiles for a key missile defense system during the war in Iran. The report suggested US commanders were warning of "dangerously low" ammunition levels, with Reuters reporting that the US had also used a significant portion of its global inventory of high-precision, long-range missiles, raising concerns about military readiness for future conflicts.

Additionally, the National Park Service issued a warning regarding the construction of a massive Triumph Arch in Washington D.C., a project championed by President Trump. The agency's report suggests the arch could disrupt the visual axis between landmarks like the Lincoln Memorial and the Memorial Bridge, potentially affecting the National Mall, the U.S. Capitol, and the Washington Monument.
