White House Expands East Wing Demolition, Trump Envisons "Even Bigger" Ballroom Than Planned | 4K

The Trump administration is planning to demolish the entirety of the White House's East Wing, as President Trump plans to add a ballroom to the complex. Construction crews have been tearing down part of the East Wing's facade. It will cost $300 million, up from the $200 million figure that White House officials initially cited. The White House says the project will be funded entirely by private donors. The demolition work marks a reversal from earlier this year, when Trump said the 90,000-square-foot ballroom project "won't interfere with the current building." The East Wing was built in 1902 and renovated in 1942. n18oc_world n18oc_crux
