The White House starts demolishing part of the East Wing to build Trump's ballroom

The White House began tearing into the East Wing to make way for President Trump’s $250 million ballroom, with dramatic images showing equipment ripping the façade as reporters looked on nearby. Trump announced the start on social media and during an East Room event, even as the project lacks construction approval from the National Capital Planning Commission; its chairman said the agency doesn’t oversee demolition. Offices will be relocated and renovated. Trump says the privately funded venue will seat up to 999. Carrier will donate the HVAC. Completion is targeted before January 2029.
