President Donald Trump says the planned White House ballroom project includes facilities beyond the event space, including a military hospital and research sites. Standing outside the construction area, Trump tells reporters the scope of the addition is larger than previously described, and he highlights what he says will be included on the same site as the ballroom.
According to Bloomberg and Breitbart, Trump provides additional details during remarks from the construction site, describing the inclusion of medical and research functions as part of the overall development. Bloomberg reports that Trump characterizes the project as involving both a military hospital and research facilities, while Breitbart likewise says the construction goes beyond a ballroom, adding that the plan includes a military hospital and research-related spaces.
Both outlets present the information as Trump’s statements from the White House construction site. The reporting focuses on the types of facilities Trump says will be built, without detailing further specifications or timelines for construction.
