Trump lashes out as US court blocks his $400m White House ballroom
Aug 9, 2026
Simon Marks is joined by US reporter Harriet Alexander as the US appeals court blocks Trump's $400 million White House ballroom project.
In a post on Truth Social, the US president branded the ruling "unjust", saying it "must be overturned by the Supreme Court in its entirety".
Mr Trump called the project a "desperately needed" and "totally secure" ballroom, claiming construction was ahead of schedule and under budget.
He said it was "a gift from President Trump and great patriots of the United States of America," adding there will be "no expense to the American taxpayer".
