Trump calls halting White House hall construction a shame
A federal appeals court in Washington has halted construction work on the celebration hall that U.S. President Donald Trump intends to build at the White House, ruling that the project requires Congressional approval according to the law. The decision came in response to opposition from groups concerned about historic sites, and the court affirmed that only Congress has the authority to approve the construction of large facilities within the complex. Trump criticized the ruling, calling it a "national disgrace," and announced his intention to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court. The project's estimated cost is around $400 million, and Trump had previously stated that funding would come from private donations.
