Trump building ‘massive’ military bunker under White House ballroom

Donald Trump has revealed that the US military is building a “massive complex” beneath the new ballroom at the White House.

Last October, the president gave his approval for a wing to be bulldozed to make way for a ballroom to host receptions and state dinners.

Mr Trump, alongside other donors, is paying privately for the project. Its budget has doubled from $200m (£160m) to $400m.

“The military is building a massive complex under the ballroom, and that’s under construction, and we’re doing very well, so we’re ahead of schedule,” Mr Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday.
