See the full timeline of Trump's $400 million White House ballroom and military complex
The Surpeme Court said President Trump can keep building his controversial ballroom and military complex. See the project's full timeline.
President Donald Trump is constructing a new $400 million White House ballroom and military complex, which has faced lawsuits and controversy. As of August, construction is 65% complete. The project, known as the East Wing Modernization Project, aims to demolish the East Wing to make way for a 90,000-square-foot ballroom complex.
This complex is said to resemble Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate and includes drone-proof structures and drone ports for enhanced security. Critics argue the project misuses taxpayer funds for security measures. The project's cost has since risen from an initially announced $200 million to approximately $300 million.
