Trump announced plans in July 2025 to build a 90,000-square-foot White House ballroom on the site of the East Wing, with an initial cost estimate of $200 million funded by private donors. The project's price tag has since risen to $400 million.

The East Wing, constructed in 1902 and expanded in 1942, was demolished in October 2025 to make way for the ballroom. The demolition marked the largest construction effort at the 225-year-old White House since the 1940s.

Trump said Sunday that the U.S. military is building a "massive complex" beneath the planned ballroom, describing the structure as "a shed for what's being built under." He said details emerged due to what he called "a stupid lawsuit."

Trump said the ballroom features bulletproof glass and drone-proof ceilings, and that no government funds are being used. "There's not one dime of government money going into the ballroom," he said.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation filed a lawsuit in December 2025 alleging the project violated federal statutes, including requirements for congressional authorization and review by the National Capital Planning Commission and Commission of Fine Arts.

Judge Richard Leon described the East Wing demolition as "brazen" during a hearing earlier in 2025 and suggested he might block the project. White House lawyers have argued the president did not need outside approval to proceed.
