US President Donald Trump has made another addition to the White House: a helipad. The facility is the first dedicated landing pad at the White House. The project's completion comes after the Supreme Court allowed the president to continue construction of the $400m (£297m) ballroom project.

The helipad, which is situated on the South Lawn of the White House, has been the subject of much speculation and controversy. The BBC's Bernd Debusmann Jr took a closer look at the facility, saying "This is not just another renovation project, it's a symbol of power and prestige." Trump himself was seen taking a tour of the construction site, where he reportedly boasted about his vision for the new helipad.

"it's going huge, believe me,"

"It's going to be huge, believe me," Trump said during the tour. "The best, most fantastic helipad anyone has ever seen." The completion of the project marks another major overhaul of the White House under Trump's leadership, with estimates suggesting that his entire renovation plan could cost upwards of $22 billion.

Despite controversy surrounding the project, including concerns over its impact on traffic and security in the area, Trump remains committed to his vision for the White House. "It's going to be tremendous," he said during the tour.

"The best, most fantastic place anyone has ever seen." The helipad is set to be completed later this year, with officials hoping it will provide a convenient and secure way for the president to travel in and out of the White House.

The addition of the helipad marks another significant development in Trump's plans to transform the White House into a symbol of his power and prestige. With its completion, the facility is set to join a long list of other major renovations and additions made under Trump's leadership, including the $400m (£297m) ballroom project and the overhaul of Dulles Airport near Washington.
