Supreme Court Weighs Challenge to Controversial Construction Project
The US Supreme Court is weighing a challenge to President Donald Trump’s construction of a new White House ballroom, with Trump citing national security concerns. The project, which is nearly two-thirds completed, has been halted by a lower court order, but the Supreme Court has issued a temporary order allowing construction to continue. The case raises questions about the boundaries of executive power and the role of the judiciary in constraining it. The dispute was first reported by the Los Angeles Times.
