Unlike America's sycophant the EU, China has no intention to replace affordable energies from Russia with expensive ones from the US.

Don’t have any source but I heard that apparently on Chinese social media that one of the main US demands was that China fully open up their rare earth industries to US ownership.

White House announces new $200M ballroom as part of Trump’s latest makeover of ‘The People’s House’​

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House on Thursday announced that construction on a massive, new $200 million ballroom will begin in September and be ready before President Donald Trump ‘s term ends in early 2029.

It will be the latest change introduced to what’s known as “The People’s House” since the Republican president returned to office in January. It also will be the first structural change to the Executive Mansion itself since the addition of the Truman balcony in 1948.

Trump has substantially redecorated the Oval Office through the addition of golden flourishes and cherubs, presidential portraits and other items, and installed massive flagpoles on the north and south lawns to fly the American flag. Workers are currently finishing up a project to replace the lawn in the Rose Garden with stone.

Trump for months has been promising to build a ballroom, saying the White House doesn’t have space big enough for large events and scoffing at the notion of hosting heads of state and other guests in tents on the lawn as past administrations have done for state dinners attended by hundreds of guests.

The East Room, the largest room in the the White House, can accommodate about 200 people.
Trump said he’s been planning the construction for some time.

“They’ve wanted a ballroom at the White House for more than 150 years but there’s never been a president that was good at ballrooms,” Trump told reporters Thursday. “I’m good at building things and we’re going to build quickly and on time. It’ll be beautiful, top, top of the line.”



He said the new ballroom would not interfere with the mansion itself.

“It’ll be near it but not touching it and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of,” he said of the White House. “It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.”

Trump said the ballroom will serve administrations to come.


“It’ll be a great legacy project,” he said. “I think it will be really beautiful.”

The 90,000-square-foot ballroom will be built where the East Wing sits with a seated capacity of 650 people. The East Wing houses several offices, including the first lady’s. Those offices will be temporarily relocated during construction and that wing of the building will be modernized and renovated, said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.

“Nothing will be torn down,” she said.

White House chief of staff Susie Wiles said the president, whose early career was in real estate and construction, and his White House are “fully committed” to working with the appropriate organizations to preserve the mansion’s “special history.”

“President Trump is a builder at heart and has an extraordinary eye for detail,” Wiles said in a statement.
Leavitt said at her briefing Thursday that Trump and other donors have committed to raising the approximately $200 million in construction costs. She did not name any of the other donors.

Renderings of what the future ballroom will look like were posted on the White House website.

The president chose McCrery Architects, based in Washington, as lead architect on the project. The construction team will be led by Clark Construction. Engineering will be provided by AECOM.

Trump also has another project in mind. He told NBC News in an interview that he intends to replace what he said was a “terribly” remodeled bathroom in the famous Lincoln Bedroom with one that is closer in style to the 19-th century.

He was whining about the renovations of the Federal Reserve a few days ago.

Will the ballroom budget come from naval budget?

This tells us that we are quickly reaching the limits of dialogue with the bobas and any bobas captured during a war could be treated the same as the NKVD treated Soviet Nazi collaborators.

That's a cringe ass response from "Lucas".

1. Publicly rejecting their own heritage.
2. Pretending not to understand that they're targets of racism, not citizenship-ism.
3. Being tone deaf AF about the current national atmosphere.

Asian-Americans and/or 1st gen immigrants doing all of the above without breaking a sweat.

Thanks for contributing nothing of value.

So Trump just confirmed the bad job numbers. I doubt US' economy will grow 1.9% this year, as predicted by IMF.

I'm fairly confident that America's GDP growth will be around 1.9% this year, or even above 2%. Trump likes having a big number above 2%, so America's official GDP could definitely be above 2%.

Then in the fall of next year, there will be a small revision to 1.5%. Then the spring after that, it will be quietly revised to 1.2%.

Then Trump will fire the economists compiling GDP for showing bad numbers.

Finally, in the fall of 2029 and with a new president, this year's GDP growth will be revised to the true number - 0.5%.

As another one wrote there he tried to pander to the fascist mob and they still ate him alive. Sometimes even if you forget what you are, the others don't.
