A US federal appeals court on Friday ordered President Donald Trump's administration to halt construction of a $400 million ballroom at the White House, ruling that Congress must approve major structural changes. The 2-1 decision by the DC Circuit upheld a lower court injunction, stating that each president is a temporary tenant, not the owner, of the White House. The court gave the administration 14 days to seek Supreme Court review, while underground work, including a planned military bunker, may continue. Trump vowed to appeal, calling the ruling politically motivated.
