While President Donald Trump weighs the single most consequential decision of his time in office so far — the possibility of US military intervention in Iran — he’s also completing a personal project years in the making.

The president's comments came after workers erected two 88-foot-tall flagpoles, one on the north lawn and one on the south lawn, at the White House on Wednesday.
