Supreme Court lets construction continue on Trump's $558m ballroom

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled 5-4 to allow construction to continue on President Donald Trump's $558 million ballroom project at the White House. The decision overturns a previous temporary injunction imposed by Chief Justice John Roberts, who dissented strongly, calling the project 'likely unlawful' due to lack of congressional approval. The majority opinion stated that the National Trust for Historic Preservation lacked legal standing to challenge the project. While the ruling allows construction to proceed, it does not resolve the legal merits of the case, leaving the issue for lower courts to determine. Trump celebrated the decision on social media, while the National Trust expressed disappointment but acknowledged the chief justice's dissent.

The focus on Trump's celebration and the dismissal of the National Trust's legal arguments suggests a right-leaning sl抗
