President Trump held a White House ceremony to honor Christopher Columbus, announcing the addition of a new statue of the explorer to the Rose Garden. During the event, Trump characterized efforts to replace Columbus Day or remove statues as attacks by 'radical left communists' and framed the explorer's legacy as a vital part of Italian-American heritage. The event included the unveiling of a second statue on the complex, following a previous installation that incorporated fragments of a toppled statue from Baltimore.
