Construcţia imensei săli de bal de la Casa Albă, blocată de o curte de apel federală

A federal appeals court has blocked the construction of a large ballroom at the White House, requested by President Trump, citing the need for Congressional approval. The court upheld a previous ruling that halted the project due to legal challenges from the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The administration has 14 days to appeal to the Supreme Court. The ballroom, intended for formal events and security reasons, is part of Trump's efforts to reshape government buildings in Washington. The Justice Department argued that private funding projects should not be obstructed by the courts.
