flag A $250 million, privately funded White House ballroom addition began construction, expanding the complex despite prior denials of demolition.

flag Construction has begun on a $250 million, 90,000-square-foot ballroom addition to the White House, with crews demolishing part of the East Wing facade to make room for the new space. flag President Donald Trump announced the project on social media, stating it is fully funded by private donors and will not cost taxpayers. flag The ballroom, designed to hold up to 999 guests, will nearly double the size of the main White House. flag This marks a significant expansion of the complex, though it contradicts earlier claims by Trump and White House officials that no demolition would occur. flag Details about the private funding sources remain limited.
