Trump shows off massive White House ballroom construction site

Donald Trump visited the construction site of his proposed White House ballroom in Washington on Monday, inspecting the ongoing works and speaking to reporters beside the unfinished structure.

Images showed Trump walking around the site, examining the construction area and presenting details of the future ballroom project.

Trump described the building as “one of the most beautiful buildings” ever built in the United States and said the project was funded through his own money and donations.

During the appearance, he also answered questions on Iran, saying the US had been close to launching military strikes before delaying action to allow more time for talks.
