US President Donald Trump describes additional features of a planned bunker-like White House ballroom, saying the underground complex would include a drone base and a military hospital. According to his remarks, the project involves a six-storey subterranean structure beneath the building. Trump says the ballroom design includes a drone base located on the roof and that a military hospital would be part of the overall complex. The outlets report that Trump took reporters to see construction-related elements of the project and used the tour to argue that the US Congress should allocate funding for security upgrades to the White House. One report frames the disclosures as previously undisclosed details revealed during the construction period, with Trump presenting the concept as part of broader security enhancements. The reporting also notes that the funding request is met with political disagreement, including criticism from Democrats and others, while Trump continues to press for the proposed US$1 billion. The disclosures focus on the purported security and medical components of the facility and how they would be integrated into the planned structure.
