The US Supreme Court has temporarily allowed Donald Trump to continue construction on a $400 million ballroom project at the White House, pausing a lower court order that would have halted aboveground work. Chief Justice John Roberts issued the temporary order Friday, permitting work to proceed while the court considers an emergency appeal from Trump’s administration. Lower courts had ordered a halt to the project, following months of contention between the Trump administration and the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The White House began demolishing the East Wing in 2025 to make way for the expansion. While the legal challenge plays out, construction can continue on what some outlets describe as a sprawling ‘military complex’ and heavily fortified ballroom. No right-leaning outlets were found to have reported on this story.
