US President Donald Trump on Friday faced criticism for renovating the White House, which involved demolishing part of it to build a $300 million dance hall...
This news has caused a public stir, with many considering such spending excessive given the country's other economic and social challenges.
According to critics, these funds could have been directed to more pressing needs, such as improving the healthcare or education systems.
Officials, however, claim that the new dance hall is necessary for hosting official events and meetings with foreign delegations, and that its construction will not affect other budget items.
