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.
