Donald Trump announced plans for the construction of a $400 million ballroom, which will include a floor above the colonnade of the White House, to create a symmetry effect. Architect Shalom Baranes presented these details to the Commission for the Planning of the American Capital, emphasizing that the new ballroom will have 1,000 seats and will connect the main building of the White House with the ballroom. The project has generated controversy, especially after Trump's decision to demolish the traditional east wing for the First Lady's offices without consulting historical organizations. Trump also modified the 'Rose Garden', an iconic area for official ceremonies. The project's costs have doubled compared to initial estimates, rising from $200 million to $400 million.
