US President Donald Trump shared details about a new White House ballroom, featuring bulletproof glass and drone-resistant design. The ballroom, a long-awaited addition, is aimed at hosting large state events without using taxpayer funds. Trump highlighted the need for a larger space at the White House for diplomatic engagements, emphasizing that current rooms are insufficient for such gatherings.
The proposed ballroom is designed to match the scale and style of the historic White House building. Trump described it as a significant architectural addition that would be on par with the main structure. He expressed confidence in the ballroom, calling it potentially the finest of its kind globally, with high-end features like Corinthian columns.
Security is a key aspect of the design, with all elements being bulletproof and drone-proof. Trump mentioned that the ballroom would be capable of accommodating major national ceremonies, including presidential inaugurations. He also revealed that the project is privately funded, with no government money involved, and highlighted the progress being ahead of schedule and under budget.
In addition to the ballroom, a military facility is being constructed beneath it, as disclosed by Trump. The President emphasized that the design of the ballroom is intended to pay homage to the visual identity of the White House, aiming for a seamless integration with the existing structure.
