US court orders halt to White House banquet hall construction

An American Court of Appeals has issued a ruling to halt the construction of a new banquet hall at the White House valued at $400 million, affirming that the president does not have the authority to make significant changes to the building without Congressional approval. The court clarified that the decision to build the hall, which spans 90,000 square feet, should fall under Congress's jurisdiction, not the executive authority. The ruling temporarily suspends the project for 14 days to allow for an appeal to the Supreme Court. This comes amid a legal dispute between the Trump administration and a nonprofit organization called the "National Trust for Historic Preservation," which argued that the project violates the Constitution and requires approval from Congress. It is noted that Trump has announced his intention to appeal the ruling and challenge it before the Supreme Court.
