Supreme Court Grants Temporary Reprieve for Trump's White House Ballroom Construction Project
The Supreme Court has temporarily allowed construction of a new White House ballroom to continue despite an earlier court ruling requiring its halt.
The Supreme Court has granted a temporary reprieve, allowing President Donald Trump's construction of a new ballroom at the White House to continue despite an earlier court ruling that would have halted the project. The high court's decision freezes a lower court ruling that had ordered construction to stop in order to address environmental concerns. The Trump administration and its contractors can now proceed with building plans for the luxury addition, which is expected to be finished by 2024. The development marks a significant victory for Trump's efforts to undertake major renovations at the White House.
