A U.S. federal court ruled that President Donald Trump does not have the authority to order the construction of a ballroom at the White House without congressional approval, according to Channel 12 News. The court is expected to demand a halt to the works, and the administration will be given an opportunity to appeal the decision.
The ruling follows The Zioneer's earlier report at 18:21 Jerusalem that the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals had blocked the White House ballroom plan. The new report from Channel 12 News adds that the federal court specifically ruled Trump lacks the authority to proceed without congressional approval and is expected to issue a halt to construction. The administration may appeal the ruling.
