US Supreme Court Temporarily Allows Trump White House Ballroom Construction to Continue
The US Supreme Court, through Chief Justice John Roberts, temporarily allowed construction of President Donald Trump's $400 million White House ballroom to continue while legal challenges proceed. Lower courts had halted the project, citing the need for congressional approval, but the administration argues the president has authority to renovate federal property and that the project is vital for national security. Preservation groups contest the unilateral demolition of the East Wing and the lack of congressional consent. The Supreme Court's order is temporary, with a final decision pending.
