White House Urged to Expedite Construction of Secure Banquet HallOn April 26, Jin10 reported that recent events have underscored the necessity for a large, secure, and reliable banquet hall within the White House grounds, a feature requested by every president over the past 150 years for various reasons. If the military-grade banquet hall currently under construction at the White House had been completed, such incidents would not occur. The hall must be completed swiftly, as it is not only aesthetically pleasing but also equipped with top-level security measures, without rooms accessible to unauthorized personnel. It is located within the walls of the world's most secure building—the White House.

Nothing should interfere with the construction process—the project is not only within budget but also ahead of schedule.
