It was the President of the United States himself who announced the start of work. “I am pleased to announce that earthworks have begun on the White House grounds for the construction of the new, grand and beautiful White House Ballroom,” he wrote in Truth Social.
“Completely separate from the White House itself, the East Wing is being completely modernized as part of this process and will be more beautiful than ever when it is completed!” “I am honored to be the first president to finally begin this much-needed project,” he said.
Dinald Trump added that the work comes at no cost to taxpayers. “The White House Ballroom is being privately funded by many generous patriots, large American corporations, and honestly, this ballroom will be happily used by future generations,” he said.
