- Crews remove the granite seal on the White House helipad, signaling potential project delays
Construction crews removed the granite seal from the White House helipad, potentially causing delays. The project, part of Trump's renovations, aims to accommodate powerful Marine One helicopters and protect the South Lawn grass. Sikorsky Aircraft, a Lockheed Martin subsidiary, is funding the $6 million granite helipad, which Trump claims will enhance White House events.
