US Supreme Court allows Trump to continue White House ballroom construction
The US Supreme Court has ruled in a 5-4 decision to grant the Trump administration's emergency request, allowing construction of a $400m ballroom at the White House to proceed. The ruling blocks lower court decisions that would have halted the above-ground portion of the project. The legal challenge was filed by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which argued that President Trump lacked unilateral authority to proceed with construction. Trump had demolished the historic East Wing last autumn to begin the project. This is a developing story.
