Summary
The National Trust for Historic Preservation in the U.S. sued the administration late last year for allegedly failing to adhere to federal guidelines prior to demolishing the East Wing and breaking ground on a ballroom. The ballroom project came together quickly after Mr. Trump announced it last summer. The ballroom is expected to cost $400 million and span roughly 90,000 square feet.
Furthermore, "Each President is a temporary tenant, not the owner, of the White House" and cannot fundamentally reshape it without congressional approval, the court said. US President Donald Trump was ordered on Friday to halt construction of a ballroom on the site of the demolished East Wing . "These upgrades, alterations, and improvements are essential to protecting the President, his family, and his staff, as well as the White House itself, and the entire project flows from them," government attorneys told the court.
In addition, The Trust also questioned the $400 million project's funding mechanism, which the president claims is largely from private donations. US appeals court blocks Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom project. A judge in a separate lawsuit recently said Trump’s name was illegally added to the exterior of the Kennedy Center performing arts venue and ordered its removal.
Moreover, The ballroom constitutes the largest White House remodel in modern history, but it's not the only change that Trump has made to the executive mansion.
