May 15 (Reuters) - ‌U.S. ​President ​Donald Trump said on ‌Friday the scheduled opening ⁠of his planned ‌ballroom would be around ‌September 2028.

"It’s under construction, ahead of ​schedule, and will be the ⁠finest facility of its kind ​anywhere in the U.S.A.," he said in ​a post ‌on Truth Social.

Last week, Trump ⁠defended the rising cost estimates for ⁠his planned ballroom, saying ​the cost of the massive building on the White ‌House complex would still be ‌less than $400 ⁠million.
