US President Donald Trump defended his $400 million "bulletproof" and "drone-proof" ballroom that is being built at the White House after he was rescued following a shooting incident at White House Correspondents' Dinner. Trump added that the 90,000-square-foot ballroom is required "because today we need levels of security that nobody has ever seen before." The ballroom has faced legal challenges.
