💨 Abstract

Donald Trump plans to build a new ballroom at the White House atop a secure underground facility. The existing bomb shelter, constructed in 1941, is being upgraded, though the government hasn't confirmed this. The project, funded partly by security firms like Microsoft and Lockheed Martin, includes necessary security enhancements. The White House argues that halting construction could endanger national security. The bunker, known as the Presidential Emergency Operations Centre, was notably used on 9/11.
