US EditionTrump: New White House ballroom will have ‘drone-free roof’
The White House ballroom, funded by wealthy donors, is planned to feature bulletproof glass and a drone-free roof with costs rising up to $400 million, officials said.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump said the White House ballroom will have a 'drone-free' roof and all bulletproof glass, with plans to be shown to the National Capital Planning Commission next month.
- Trump originally pegged the project at $200 million, but said it could cost up to $400 million, funded by donations from wealthy friends.
- Critics decried the demolition of the East Wing, and the National Trust for Historic Preservation filed suit to stop construction until proper review.
- U.S. District Judge Richard Leon said construction could continue on underground work 'for now', enabling limited progress amid litigation while Trump called the project a 'big, beautiful, safe building'.
- Plans are slated for National Capital Planning Commission review next month, and Trump said the ballroom could host a presidential inauguration due to its bulletproof glass and 'drone-free' roof.
