> The US Supreme Court has temporarily allowed Donald Trump’s $400m White House ballroom project to proceed while it considers an emergency appeal. Chief Justice John Roberts paused a lower-court order that said the construction required congressional approval. The administration cites national security, while preservation lawyers argue Trump lacks unilateral authority.
