The White House announces a new celebration hall worth $ 200 million

The White House has announced plans to build a new hall worth 200 million dollars (151 million pounds), which often fulfills a desire from US President Donald Trump.

The new celebration hall will be built alongside the “modern” eastern wing of the White House, which currently includes the offices of the First Lady Melania Trump and other main White House sites.

Money will be donated directly by Trump and other unknown donors, with the start of work in September, according to journalist Caroline Levitte.

Trump has repeatedly promised to build a “beautiful” dance hall at the White House, and in 2016 she offered to pay $ 100 million during the Barack Obama administration – which was rejected by the president at the time.

In a briefing of reporters at the White House on Thursday, Levitte said that “the extensive and wonderful addition to the White House will be about 90,000 (8360 square meters) with a sitting capacity of about 650.

Currently, many official White House jobs are held in the Eastern Chamber in the White House, which can accommodate about 200 people.

Levitte added that the new celebration hall will also remove the need to install a “large tent and ingenuity” for government dinner and other major events – which sometimes include world leaders.

According to Leavitt, the construction is expected to be completed “a long time ago” at the end of Trump’s period in his post in January 2029.

“President and White House Trump are completely committed to working with the appropriate organizations to preserve the private date of the White House, while building a beautiful dance hall that future departments and generations of the upcoming Americans can enjoy,” said Chief of Staff, Suzy Wells.

Offers presented by the White House show that the celebration hall will be similar architectural with the rest of the White House, with a luxurious interior design including chandeliers and decorative columns.

“The White House has a history of expansion to accommodate the changing needs of the country’s CEO,” Leslie Green Bowman, who served under four heads of the White House preservation committee, told the BBC. “I hope that any proposed changes will honor the current walls that have witnessed a lot of history. They are valuable ships of our legacy as democracy.”

The offices currently in the eastern wing of the White House adjacent to the construction – including those for the first lady Melania Trump – will be re -temporarily.

President Trump has repeatedly expressed his desires in a new celebration hall as part of the White House renovations, which have already seen a large mast installation, and a new golden decoration in the Oval Office, bulldozers and Islam in the famous garden of roses.

“There was no good president in the celebration halls,” Trump said at an event at the White House on Thursday. “I am good in building things.”

Trump added that “they had always had tents” for big events in the White House, which he described as a disaster. “It is not a beautiful scene.”

Earlier this week during a meeting in Scotland with European Council President Ursula van der Lin, Trump told her, “We are building a large celebration hall in the White House.”

“No president knew how to build a dance hall,” Trump said in another celebration hall at the Turnberry Golf Golf Resort. “I can take this, drop it directly there, and it will be beautiful.”

In 2016, when Trump offered to the Campaign Train while the Barack Obama administration, she offered the contribution of $ 100 million to build a new White House dance hall for use to host events.

At the time, then the then pressure minister, Josh Ernst, said the proposal “is not a serious thing that was seriously considered.”

“I am not sure that it will be appropriate to have a shiny golden tag … in any part of the White House,” Ernest told reporters.
