US military is constructing a massive underground complex beneath a new, privately funded ballroom at the White House. The facility will include a Presidential Emergency Operations Centre (PEOC), a secure command centre that has existed since the second World War.
Speaking to reporters on Sunday evening aboard Air Force One, Trump confirmed the project, saying, "The military is building a massive complex under the ballroom, that's under construction." He added that the new ballroom will have advanced security features, including bulletproof glass and drone-resistant design, and will host international dignitaries as well as major events such as presidential inaugurations.
