[U.S. Appeals Court Rules Trump’s White House Banquet Hall Construction Project Can Proceed] BlockBeats News, April 13, according to foreign media reports, the White House banquet hall construction project proposed by U.S. President Trump can continue for at least another week following a temporary ruling issued by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit on Saturday. In a 2-1 decision, the appellate court panel stayed the enforcement of Judge Richard Leon’s previous order to halt construction. This judge, appointed by George W. Bush, had ruled in March that the project could not proceed because the U.S. government had not obtained congressional authorization.
