White House Donald Trump

Donald Trump has teased the potential name for a new $300m White House ballroom.
The project has faced scrutiny over its cost and plans to demolish the historic East Wing, contradicting earlier assurances.
When questioned on Saturday, Trump denied any intention to name the ballroom after himself, labelling such reports as 'fake news'.
He suggested 'Presidential Ballroom' as a possible name, indicating that a final decision had not yet been made.
Trump made these remarks as he boarded Air Force One for Malaysia to attend a landmark ASEAN summit.
