Halting $400m White House ballroom project is national security risk, Trump officials say | Donald Trump
Donald Trump’s administration is appealing a federal judge's order to halt construction of a $400 million White House ballroom, arguing that the project poses national security risks. US National Park Service (NPS) lawyers claim the construction includes bomb shelters, military installations, and a medical facility, making it necessary for the president’s safety. The administration argues that the current state of the grounds makes it harder to protect the White House and that the judge's order would hinder national security efforts. The appeals court will consider the request by Friday.
