Donald Trump has revealed that the US military is building a “massive complex” beneath the new ballroom at the White House.
Last October, the president gave his approval for a wing to be bulldozed to make way for a ballroom to host receptions and state dinners.
Mr Trump, alongside other donors, is paying privately for the project. Its budget has doubled from $200m (£160m) to $400m.
“The military is building a massive complex under the ballroom, and that’s under construction, and we’re doing very well, so we’re ahead of schedule,” Mr Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday.
“It’s part of it, the ballroom essentially becomes a shed for what’s being built under the military [complex] including [protection] from drones and including from any other thing. The glass on the windows is extremely thick – it’s high-grade bulletproof glass.”
