US Military Building 'Massive Complex' Beneath White House Ballroom Project: Trump
The privately funded White House ballroom project has doubled in budget to $400 million and includes an underground military complex to expand event capacity and enhance security.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. military is constructing a massive complex beneath the new ballroom currently being built at the White House.
- Last October, Trump authorized the demolition of a White House wing to construct the ballroom, whose privately funded budget has doubled to $400 million.
- Describing the ballroom as a "shed" for the underground project, Trump stated, "We are using onyx and stones that are incredible," noting construction proceeded without standard vetting.
- Public disclosure of the underground construction occurred "because of a stupid lawsuit," though Trump maintains the project remains ahead of schedule.
- Eager to leave his mark on Washington, Trump has renamed a performance venue as the Trump-Kennedy Center and plans to build a grand arch inspired by Paris.
