On Friday, a federal appeals court upheld the suspension of the ballroom construction at the White House, a controversial project desired by Donald Trump. This suspension had initially been ordered in April by a judge, and the court decided to maintain this ruling.

Donald Trump expressed his anger at this judicial setback, calling the ruling 'horrible' and 'political.' He also announced his intention to appeal this decision to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Trump is accused of not obtaining Congressional approval before initiating this monumental work, which is deemed excessive by his critics.

This blockage occurs amid heightened political tensions, exacerbated by allegations of judicial decisions influenced by political motivations. The ballroom project remains on hold as Trump seeks other legal remedies.
