US court blocks Trump celebration hall
A U.S. Federal Appeals Court has ordered a halt to the construction of a $400 million celebration hall at the White House, which the Trump administration had begun building on the site where the East Wing was demolished. The court upheld the initial ruling issued by the Historic Preservation Foundation, which filed the lawsuit because it viewed the construction as having started without congressional approval—an act they considered a violation of the President's powers. The hall, spanning 90,000 square feet, is intended to host significant official events. The project is one of Trump's initiatives to reshape government buildings, but the judiciary confirmed that no federal law grants Trump the authority to begin construction without congressional approval. The court gave the administration 14 days to appeal this decision to the Supreme Court, with opinions divided on whether the project is essential for national security or merely a luxury.
