President Donald Trump has installed a statue of Christopher Columbus on the White House grounds, according to officials.

The statue is located outside the Eisenhower Executive Office Building and is visible from Pennsylvania Avenue and 17th Street NW.

It is a reconstruction of a monument first unveiled by President Ronald Reagan in Baltimore in 1984.

The original was torn down and dumped into the Baltimore harbor during the Black Lives Matter riots in 2020.
