U.S. President Donald Trump has stirred fresh debate with strong remarks on immigration and executive authority ahead of a key Supreme Court hearing. Speaking on birthright citizenship, Trump argued the policy was originally intended to protect the children of slaves after the Civil War, not wealthy foreign nationals, raising questions about its modern interpretation.
He also criticized the judicial system, expressing concerns over fairness and alleging bias among certain judges. Trump suggested that such rulings reflect deeper divisions within the legal system, as the upcoming case is expected to have significant implications for U.S. immigration policy and constitutional law.
In a separate issue, Trump addressed the controversy surrounding the proposed construction of a new White House ballroom. He rejected the idea that congressional approval is required, pushing back against a federal judge’s ruling that temporarily halted the project and confirming plans to appeal the decision.
The ballroom project, estimated to cost between 300 and 400 million dollars, is expected to be funded entirely through private donations. Trump emphasized that no taxpayer money would be used and argued that parts of the project could move forward under provisions related to security upgrades.
Defending the plan, Trump said existing White House facilities are inadequate for large events, particularly in poor weather. As legal challenges continue, both the citizenship case and the construction dispute are fueling broader debates over executive power, judicial oversight, and the limits of authority in the United States.
