The US Department of Justice announced Trump's right to demolish the Statue of Liberty.

An American court cannot stop the construction of a ballroom in the White House, just as it would not be able to stop the actions of the administration of US President Donald Trump if they decided to bulldoze the Statue of Liberty. This was announced on June 6 by the lawyer of the American Ministry of Justice, Yaakov Roth.

According to the Politico newspaper, according to the lawyer, the construction has already gone too far to be curtailed. In addition, this project addresses national security issues.

It is noted that in response to these arguments, the judge asked if this meant that the court would not be able to intervene if the controversial project was implemented quickly and became a "fait accompli." Roth confirmed that court intervention would be impossible in this case. When the judge gave a specific example of the demolition of the Statue of Liberty, the lawyer gave a similar affirmative answer.

How Trump wanted to rebuild the White House. What you need to know

Trump spoke about the construction of a new ballroom in the White House on March 2. According to him, the building should be magnificent, but the noise of the builders is very annoying to First Lady Melania Trump. On May 19, the president announced that a bunker was being built under the ballroom of the White House, which would go six floors underground. According to him, the building located on top will perform a protective function for the underground part.
