Trump seeks Supreme Court OK for White House hall
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump requested the Supreme Court to grant permission to proceed with the construction of a large reception hall at the White House, after an appellate court blocked the project aimed at building a venue that can accommodate 1,000 people for official parties and banquets. Trump had indicated an increase in the budget allocated for the project from $200 million to $400 million, funded through private donations, but described the court's decision to halt it as a "national shame" and a threat to national security, given that it includes a fortified military bunker and other security facilities.
