    Trump Asks Supreme Court to Allow White House Ballroom Construction

    The Trump administration has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene and allow the construction of a 90,000-square-foot ballroom adjacent to the White House to resume. The project, estimated to cost at least $400 million, has been challenged in court. The administration argues that the president has broad authority over changes to the White House and that the construction is necessary for national security. The case has been expedited, with opponents ordered to respond by noon on Tuesday.

    US Accuses 40+ Countries of Aiding China in Tariff Evasion

    The Trump administration has accused over 40 countries, including major trading partners like India, Mexico, Canada, and EU members, of participating in a 'shadow transshipment network' that helps Chinese goods evade US tariffs. The practice, known as transshipment, involves rerouting goods through third countries to dodge tariffs. The White House estimates that this practice costs the US billions in lost tariff revenue and harms American workers. The administration plans to use artificial intelligence to crack down on this practice and has published a report titled 'The Great Transshipment Scam'.
