​U.S. President ​Donald Trump said ‌on Saturday ​that much of the water ‌at the newly renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool "probably" has to be ‌drained for repairs following what he ‌called "vandalism" of the site.

"We met with contractors today, ⁠will probably be forced to release and ⁠drain ​much of the water in order to do ⁠the necessary repairs, but will have ⁠them ⁠done as quickly as possible."
