> The divided US Supreme Court has allowed construction of the White House’s $400m ballroom to continue while litigation proceeds, giving Donald Trump a victory. The majority did not rule on the project’s legality, instead finding that the preservation group challenging it likely lacked standing. Chief Justice John Roberts dissented, calling the project “likely unlawful”.
