President Donald Trump on Tuesday provided an update on the construction of the White House ballroom, saying that the project was "on budget" and set to be completed "ahead of schedule."

Trump has funded the project out of his own pocket, with additional support from private donations. The creation of the ballroom is set to fulfill a longstanding wish of past presidents, many of whom have lamented that the White House grounds lacked a suitable space for large state events.

"Two views of the Great Ballroom being built on the site of our wonderful White House — It is on budget, and ahead of schedule!" Trump posted on Truth Social, along with two computer-generated renderings of a completed ballroom. "When completed, it will be the finest Ballroom ever built anywhere in the World, one that has been sought by Presidents for over 150 years — and now they are getting THE BEST!"

"Because of its unprecedented structural, safety, and security features, it will also be used for future Presidential Inaugurations. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" he added.
