Crime Policy
Tech CEOs Get Trump to Back Down on Military Threat

On Thursday, Donald Trump announced that he had decided not to send the National Guard to San Francisco to combat an alleged crime wave.

Behind the scenes, the decision was preceded by a hectic persuasion campaign involving several leading tech CEOs, reports the Wall Street Journal.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Open AI CEO Sam Altman and Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, among others, collaborated to set up a 25-minute phone call between Trump and San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie on Wednesday evening.

Together with Lurie, the CEOs managed to persuade Trump that military action in San Francisco would lead to such an uneasy atmosphere that it would harm the local economy, and that this would have knock-on effects on the national economy given the city's status as a tech and AI hub.

Construction of the party venue
White House ballroom to be larger than the main building

The building that will house the White House's new ballroom will be significantly larger than the main building itself. This is shown by sketches produced by the Washington Post.

The new building will occupy an area of ​​just over 8,300 square meters, which can be compared to the main building's 5,100 square meters. The ballroom will be built on the site where the east wing previously stood. It was demolished in its entirety this week, despite President Donald Trump previously saying that the new construction would not affect the previous buildings.

In addition to the exclusive ballroom, the new building will contain suites for White House guests and offices for the first lady and her staff.
