Trump administration proposes $900 million White House construction plan
Proposal includes infrastructure upgrades and renovations at the presidential residence, per Washington Post report.
The Trump administration has outlined a $900 million plan to fund extensive construction and renovation projects at the White House, according to a report by the Washington Post.
The proposed expenditure would cover infrastructure upgrades and modernization efforts at the presidential residence, including structural repairs, security enhancements and operational improvements. The funding request is part of a broader federal budget proposal submitted to Congress for consideration.
The administration has not yet provided detailed breakdowns of the allocation, but the plan is expected to undergo scrutiny during budget negotiations. Lawmakers may seek additional information on cost overruns or alternative funding sources before approving the proposal.
The White House has historically relied on annual appropriations for maintenance and upgrades, with prior projects including historical preservation work and technological upgrades. The $900 million figure represents a significant increase compared to recent annual allocations for similar purposes.
A spokesperson for the administration declined to comment on the specifics of the plan pending congressional review.
