Trump Says White House Helipad Is Complete
- President Trump announced the completion of the White House helipad, featuring a carved granite White House seal and costing about $5 or $6 million, fully funded by others.
- The helipad was built to prevent damage to the historic South Lawn caused by the exhaust and weight of the upgraded VH-92A Patriot helicopter, which is heavier and more powerful than its predecessor.
- Marine One now uses the helipad as a safer landing spot compared to previous landings on the grass, which were described as unsafe and damaging.
- The helipad's completion coincides with broader federal renovation projects in Washington, D.C., including work on the White House Ballroom and restoration of public monuments.
