TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - US President Donald Trump was ordered on Friday to halt construction of a ballroom on the site of the demolished East Wing, according to DW.
The order is on hold for 14 days to allow Trump to appeal to the US Supreme Court.
The court said the president does not have unrestricted authority to make major structural changes to the White House without congressional approval.
The court majority rejected the argument, saying national security concerns “are not an automatic get-out-of-law-free card.”
The legal battle now moves toward a potential Supreme Court review, while construction remains on hold.
