华盛顿，8月14日路透电 – 唐纳德·特朗普总统政府于周五向美国最高法院提出请求，允许其继续推进耗资4亿美元的白宫舞厅项目。此前一名上诉法院法官裁定该项目未获得国会必要批准。
特朗普政府请求大法官暂停美国哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院的裁决，以便其准备向最高法院提起全面上诉。

美国司法部律师在提交的文件中呼应了特朗普的观点，称舞厅项目是一项安全必要举措。律师们援引针对特朗普的多起暗杀企图，将该项目描述为“国家安全至关重要的必要举措”。
他们写道：“此案涉及一项非同寻常且非法的禁令，该禁令将叫停白宫东翼综合军事设施的在建工程，其中包括一个完全安全的舞厅空间，而这是国家安全至关重要的必要举措。”
哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院在8月7日以2比1的裁决维持了下级法院法官要求政府停止地上施工的命令。
该合议庭写道：“是否应当建造大型舞厅应由国会决定，而非行政部门自行其是。”
上诉法院已暂停其裁决生效14天，以便特朗普政府向最高法院提起上诉。
美国国家历史保护信托基金去年提起了这起诉讼，此前政府拆除了白宫东翼建筑并开始建造一座9万平方英尺（约合8360平方米）的舞厅，未寻求国会授权。
美国国家历史保护信托基金未立即回应置评请求。
特朗普曾表示，舞厅项目是一项安全必要举措，并在本月早些时候的Truth Social帖子中将该建筑称为“军事中心”。他称哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院的裁决“骇人听闻”且带有政治动机，并表示该裁决令他、其他白宫官员和访客面临袭击风险。
特朗普写道：“这项不公正的裁决必须被最高法院完全推翻。”他表示，舞厅计划包括防空洞、医疗设施、无人机和导弹防护装置以及其他安全设施，“所有这些整合为一个庞大、昂贵且极为复杂的整体”。
哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院的意见书中提到，国家安全主张“并非自动获得的免罚通行证”。
上诉法院的命令并未永久禁止建造舞厅，而是阻止了地上施工，直到政府获得国会批准为止。

Trump asks US Supreme Court to allow White House ballroom construction to continue
2026-08-14T13:22:38.544Z / Reuters
WASHINGTON, Aug 14 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump’s administration on Friday asked the U.S. Supreme Court to allow it to continue construction of his $400 million White House ballroom after an appeals court ruled the project lacked the necessary approval from Congress.
The Trump administration asked the justices to keep the ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on hold while it prepares a full appeal to the Supreme Court.

Justice Department lawyers, in their filing, echoed Trump’s contention that the ballroom project is a security necessity. Citing numerous assassination attempts against Trump, lawyers described the project as “vitally required by national security.”
“This case involves an extraordinary and unlawful injunction that will halt the ongoing construction of the integrated military complex, including a totally secure ballroom space, at the East Wing of the White House, which is vitally required by national security,” they wrote.
The D.C. Circuit in a 2-1 ruling on August 7 upheld a lower-court judge’s order directing the administration to halt above-ground construction.
“Whether or not a massive ballroom should be constructed is for Congress to decide and is not a matter for Executive self-help,” the panel wrote.
The appeals court had paused its order from taking effect for 14 days to allow the Trump administration to challenge it at the Supreme Court.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation brought the case last year after the administration tore down the East Wing and began building a 90,000-square-foot (8,360-square-meter) ballroom without seeking authorization from Congress.
The National Trust did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Trump has said the ballroom project is a security necessity, and referred to the structure as a “military center” in a post on Truth Social earlier this month. He called the D.C. Circuit’s decision “horrendous” and politically motivated and said it left him, other White House officials and visitors exposed to attack.
“This unjust decision must be overturned by the Supreme Court in its entirety,” Trump wrote. He said the ballroom plan includes bomb shelters, medical facilities, shielding from drones and missiles and other security features that are “all tied together as one big, expensive, and very complex unit.”
The D.C. Circuit’s opinion said national security arguments “are not an automatic get-out-of-law-free card.”
The appeals court’s order did not permanently bar construction of a ballroom, but blocked above-ground efforts until the administration secures approval from Congress.
