Trump Administration Seeks Supreme Court Approval to Resume White House Ballroom Construction
President Donald Trump's administration has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to allow construction of a $400 million ballroom at the White House to continue. Lower courts halted the project, ruling that Trump lacks unilateral authority and must obtain congressional approval. The administration argues the construction is essential for presidential and national security, citing past threats. The Supreme Court petition seeks to suspend the appeals court's order while the legal dispute proceeds.
