> The Supreme Court has allowed construction of Donald Trump’s $400m White House ballroom to proceed, ruling 5-4 on the administration’s emergency request. The decision blocks lower-court orders that had halted the above-ground work. The National Trust for Historic Preservation argued Trump lacked unilateral authority to build it.
