💨 Abstract

A £151 million ballroom, measuring 90,000 sq ft and seating 650, is planned for the White House's East Wing to replace the smaller East Room. Funded by Trump and anonymous donors, the ornate space will match the White House's architectural style. The project, aimed at eliminating the need for tents for large events, has drawn mixed reactions. First Lady Melania Trump's office will be temporarily relocated for construction.
