The Trump administration has been ordered to stop construction on US President Donald Trump's $400m (£297m) ballroom at the White House. A federal appeals court dealt the latest setback to the controversial project on Friday, paving the way for a Supreme Court showdown on appeal. "Whether or not a massive ballroom should be constructed is for Congress to decide and is not a matter for Executive self-help," the panel's majority said. The order upholds a preliminary injunction won by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which sued after the administration tore down the East Wing last year to begin the project without congressional approval.
