[White House Correspondents' Dinner Shooting Incident: Trump Defends White House Banquet Hall Project Again] Reported by Jinse Finance, on May 8, local time May 7, in response to the Republican-proposed $1 billion budget for the White House banquet hall, U.S. President Trump stated that the related funds are primarily allocated for 'security projects,' rather than the construction of the banquet hall itself. Trump remarked on the day: 'That is not all funding for the banquet hall; it is for security-related projects in certain areas of the White House.' He further mentioned that part of the funding involves 'military-level' security facility construction and presidential security needs, emphasizing: 'We will have a secure banquet hall.'
