U.S. Supreme Court: Trump may continue to build ballroom for now

The U.S. Supreme Court has temporarily allowed the construction of Trump's controversial ballroom at the White House to continue. A majority of five conservative justices ruled that the administration has a good chance of dismissing a lawsuit by the National Trust for Historic Preservation against the project. The court emphasized that this decision does not determine the legality of the construction itself, but rather whether the organization can prove it was directly harmed by the project and thus has standing to sue. Three liberal judges and conservative Chief Justice John Roberts dissented, with Roberts having previously paused a lower court’s construction ban to allow the Supreme Court to review the case. A federal court had initially halted the work in April but permitted the construction of an underground military bunker. A appellate court later confirmed the construction stoppage in early August, noting that such a renovation would require explicit congressional approval.
