Oct. 16 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump on Wednesday night hosted wealthy donors to a dinner marking their support for his $200 million White House ballroom.
The 90,000-square-foot White House State Ballroom began construction in September and is expected to be completed before the end of Trump's term in 2029.
The dinner was held in the East Room and was attended by wealthy benefactors, though an official list of attendees has yet to be made available to the press.
Trump arrived at about 7:40 p.m. EDT and was greeted by a standing ovation from guests. Around the room were placards displaying artist renderings of an arch that Trump is now hoping to construct in Washington, D.C.
