The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, DC, is facing a new issue after a major renovation ordered by President Donald Trump. A blue material has appeared on the surface of the pool, partially detached from the floor, and it's unclear whether it's paint, sealant, or another coating used during the renovation.
The pool has been alternating between different hues of green for days, making it difficult to achieve the 'American Flag Blue' color desired by Trump. The issue has surfaced as officials were already battling algae growth in the newly refurbished pool.
The project, initially estimated to cost $1.8 million, has risen to approximately $14.7 million. Workers were spotted trying to remove deep green spots from the pool and fish out algae, pouring hydrogen peroxide.
