US appeals court orders halt to Trump ballroom construction without congressional approval
Americas4 sources3 countries43m ago
A federal appeals court has issued an order halting the construction of a proposed East Wing ballroom at the White House. The ruling mandates that the project cannot proceed without explicit congressional approval, affirming a lower court's decision that such a significant overhaul requires legislative consent.
The legal challenge was brought by historic preservationists who opposed the construction. Following the court's decision, the former president announced via social media his intention to appeal the ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court, characterizing the court's intervention as an unjust decision.
