A U.S. federal appeals court has issued a ruling blocking President Donald Trump's project to build a $400 million ballroom at the White House, Reuters reported. The project involves building a structure on the site of the demolished East Wing of the White House.
The judge ruled that such decisions fall under the authority of Congress rather than the executive branch. The court emphasized in a statement that the head of state should not unilaterally decide to construct such a large facility because Congress did not give the president unlimited power to remodel the residence.
