Trump Advocates for $400M White House Ballroom Construction Completion

AI Summary

President Donald Trump urged the continuation of construction on a $400 million ballroom at the White House, which aims to enhance security. This follows a shooting incident at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, leading to an evacuation. The ballroom project, covering 90,000 square feet, is currently facing legal challenges from the National Trust for Historic Preservation, asserting that Trump lacked congressional approval for the project. Courts are permitting underground work to proceed, while a hearing has been scheduled for June 5 to address the ongoing legal dispute regarding above-ground construction.
