WHAT HAPPENED
A federal appeals court has ordered a halt to the construction of a $400 million White House ballroom, saying that any above‑ground work cannot proceed without congressional approval. The decision, announced on Friday, effectively pauses the project that President Trump had touted as a historic renovation.
The ruling comes as construction began earlier this year with the intent to create a new ballroom in the Oval Office area. Historic preservation advocates had argued that the project violated the National Historic Preservation Act. According to NPR Topics: Culture, the court sided with preservationists and blocked the work. Related coverage from the South China Morning Post, The Guardian and Deutsche Welle confirms the halt and notes that Trump plans to appeal to the Supreme Court.
The White House ballroom has been a point of contention for years, with debates over the use of public funds for interior renovations.
- Appeals court blocked $400M White House ballroom construction.
- Construction can only proceed with congressional approval, per court ruling.
- Trump intends to appeal decision to the Supreme Court.
