- The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool turned green with algae shortly after a $14 million renovation completed by the Trump administration.

- The Trump administration implemented a $1.7 million upgraded ozone nanobubbler filtration system, which they state is now successfully destroying the algae.
- Communications Director Katie Martin clarified that the algae's return was a normal part of the start-up process after construction and is being removed.
- President Trump plans to use the newly renovated Reflecting Pool as a backdrop for a 'Tribute to America' rally on July 4th.
