Trump, East Wing and White House
Digest more
The Republican president has said he's adding a 90,000-square-foot ballroom because the East Room, the largest room in the White House with an approximately 200-person capacity, is too small.
The White House press secretary was quick to point out that past presidents have wanted a bigger ballroom to host dignitaries.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt defended President Donald Trump as a “builder-in-chief" amid backlash from critics over the demolition of a part of the East Wing.
