Parts of the White House's East Wing have been demolished, as construction begins on US President Donald Trump's new ballroom. Construction crews on Monday tore down massive chunks of a covered entryway and windows in the East Wing, which Trump said is being "fully modernised". The president previously said that his $250m White House ballroom addition would be "near" the existing structure but would not change it.
