The US Supreme Court on Monday allowed US President Donald Trump's administration to continue with the $400 million (€345 million) White House ballroom construction project for now.

The ruling was backed by five ‌of the court's six conservative justices who said that the plaintiffs in the case likely didn't have the legal right to challenge the case.

"This Court has not found standing in circumstances like these before. To the contrary, we have repeatedly held that mere offense, disagreement, or distaste does not qualify as a concrete and particularized injury," under the US Constitution, the five justices wrote in their ruling.
