Donald Trump proposes White House changes and border wall expansion

President Donald Trump is considering a plan to close the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room at the White House to convert the space back into an indoor swimming pool. The room, which was originally built in 1933 as a pool for President Franklin Roosevelt before being repurposed for press coverage during the Nixon administration, would potentially see journalists relocated to the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.

Separately, the Trump administration has filed an emergency request with the U.S. Supreme Court to resume construction of a border wall in a remote area of West Texas near Big Bend National Park. The Department of Justice is seeking to lift a federal court injunction that halted the project following legal challenges from environmental groups and local stakeholders. These opponents argue that the construction threatens the region's fragile ecosystem and historical sites.
