Donald Trump says he will appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court an appeals court ruling that orders a halt to construction of the White House ballroom project. Multiple outlets report that Trump characterizes the decision as “horrendous,” and describes it as politically motivated and unlawful. The dispute centers on an order stopping work on the project, which several reports describe as a roughly $400 million initiative.
The outlets agree that an appeals court had issued the stop-work ruling before Trump announced plans to challenge it. After the decision, Trump said he would pursue immediate review by the Supreme Court, framing the move as an effort to overturn the ruling. The reporting does not provide additional details on the legal grounds of the appeals court’s decision or on what specific aspects of the project are affected beyond the construction halt.
Overall, the coverage aligns on the sequence of events: an appeals court orders construction to stop, and Trump responds by seeking Supreme Court intervention to overturn that order.
