US Supreme Court Allows Trump White House Ballroom Construction Amid Legal Dispute
The US Supreme Court ruled 5-4 to allow construction of President Donald Trump's $400 million White House ballroom to continue while legal challenges proceed in lower courts. The majority found the National Trust for Historic Preservation likely lacked legal standing to sue, without ruling on the project's legality. Chief Justice John Roberts and three liberal justices dissented, calling the construction "likely unlawful" due to lack of congressional approval. The administration cited national security concerns and aims to complete key work within months.
