President Donald Trump says he will ask the Supreme Court to overturn a federal judges’ order halting construction of a White House ballroom. He argues that stopping the project could endanger future presidents by preventing the creation of a more secure venue for major official events.

Trump has described the ballroom as a privately funded “gift to America” intended to accommodate up to 2,000 guests. The court ruling pauses the project, though the supplied article text does not state the judges’ reasoning or the precise legal basis for their decision.
