- Trump spoke about the construction of a military complex under the ballroom of the White House
US President Donald Trump told reporters that a military complex will appear under the ballroom under construction in the White House. He announced this during a conversation with the press on March 30 aboard Air Force One.
"The military is building a huge complex under the ballroom. It only happened recently because of a stupid lawsuit that was filed. It is under construction. So we're ahead of schedule. And the ballroom, in fact, becomes a warehouse for what is being built for military purposes, including for unmanned aerial vehicles and everything else. The glass is very thick. This is high-quality bulletproof glass. So all the windows are bulletproof," Trump said in a video posted on the White House website.
He added that the parts of the White House under construction will match the architectural style of the main building. When asked about the construction schedule, the US president shared that he was ahead of schedule. Trump stressed that he was building with his own personal and "donor" money, without spending budget funds.
During a press conference with reporters on March 2, Trump took a break from the topic of the Iranian conflict to tell the audience about the construction of a new ballroom in the White House. According to him, the building should be magnificent, but the noise of the builders is very annoying to the first lady— Melania Trump.
CNN reported on March 23 that Trump ordered the installation of a replica of the statue of the navigator Christopher Columbus in the courtyard of the White House, which was demolished six years ago during the protests of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement in Baltimore. The four-meter sculpture is a replica of a statue thrown into Baltimore Harbor.
