US court blocks Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom project
Most outlets reported that a US federal appeals court ordered the halt of construction on Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom project, noting the legal basis was the lack of congressional authority granted to the executive branch. Several outlets, including The Express Tribune and The News International, included the court’s reasoning about the executive branch not being given authority by Congress. 24 News HD added a brief mention of the decision potentially leading to a Supreme Court battle and that it "enraged" Trump, while others omitted such framing. A few outlets, like Geo News and ARY News (English), provided minimal additional context beyond the court’s order.
