Trump asks U.S. Supreme Court for White House ballroom project to resume

Trump’s solicitor general petitioned the high court to suspend last week’s decision by a three-judge panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

Appeals court previously ruled that Trump administration must seek authorisation from Congress to continue with project.

A lower court had stopped the work, with the US president calling the ruling “horrendous, politically motivated, and unlawful.”

The planned 90,000-square-foot ballroom is estimated to cost $400 million and is part of the president’s broader effort to remake Washington in his own style.

The Trump administration has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to allow it to continue construction on the White House's planned $400 million ballroom.

President Donald Trump tore down the White House East Wing to make way for the ballroom project.

Forcing the US president to go "hat-in-hand to Congress" for permission would be "dangerous", the administration says.

The president wants the court to stop an order blocking above-ground construction on his ballroom from taking effect, citing national security concerns.
