WASHINGTON (AP) — New satellite images taken Thursday reveal the extensive scope of the demolition of the White House East Wing as President Donald Trump progresses with the construction of a new ballroom at the White House.
Recent photographs from Planet Labs PBC indicate the notable changes made between September 26, 2025, when the East Wing was still intact, and the latest images dated October 23, 2025, which show significant demolition.
