参议院阻止特朗普支持的白宫舞厅资金
Read, Watch or Listen
In Washington on Sunday, Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough ruled that a Trump-backed proposal to direct federal security funding toward a planned White House ballroom cannot advance under the current spending package without 60 votes. With Republicans holding a 53–47 majority, the measure fell short, effectively stalling roughly $1 billion in proposed taxpayer funding for security and infrastructure tied to the project. Donald Trump has said the estimated $400 million ballroom construction itself would be privately funded, while Republicans sought federal money for related security and operational costs. The expansion plan has also prompted lawsuits from preservation groups over potential damage to historic White House areas.
