Construction crews started tearing down part of the East Wing on Monday as the former property mogul announced the formal commencement of work on a massive new US$250 million ballroom.
Republican Trump told college baseball players visiting the White House that they might occasionally hear construction noise from the other side of the building.
“I am pleased to announce that ground has been broken on the White House grounds to build the new, big, beautiful White House Ballroom,“ Trump stated on his Truth Social network.
The East Wing traditionally houses the offices of US first ladies while the president works in the West Wing and the first family lives in the Executive Mansion.
Trump explained the new 90,000-square-foot ballroom with 1,000-person capacity was necessary for hosting large state dinners and other events currently held in temporary tents.
Guests included representatives from technology firms like Amazon, Apple, Meta, Google, Microsoft and Palantir along with defense contractor Lockheed Martin, all companies with significant government contracts or dealings.
“The White House Ballroom is being privately funded by many generous patriots, Great American companies, and, yours truly,“ Trump announced, adding this ballroom would serve generations to come.
Trump has additionally revealed plans for a massive triumphal arch in Washington, nicknamed the “Arc de Trump” after AFP first reported the proposal. – AFP
