Appeals court halts Trump’s ballroom project paving way for Supreme Court showdown

The Trump administration has been ordered to stop construction on President Donald Trump’s $400m (£297m) ballroom at the White House.

A federal appeals court dealt the latest setback to the controversial project on Friday, testing Trump’s presidential authority and paving the way for a Supreme Court showdown on appeal.

“Whether or not a ⁠massive ballroom should be constructed is for Congress to decide and is not a matter for Executive self-help,” the panel’s ​majority said.

The order upholds a preliminary ​injunction won by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which sued the administration after the ​East Wing was torn down last year to begin the project without congressional approval.
