The U.S. White House East Wing demolition reform plan, which cost about $2.5 billion, has continued to raise controversy recently.According to the news agency, the U.S. Beast Daily and other media on the 23rd, satellite images taken by the professional platform "Planet Labs", which focuses on high-frequency satellite images and data analysis, show that the entire building of the White House East Wing has been completely demolished.

According to the Beast Daily, the iconic columns of the White House's East Wing, the presidential family theater, public entrance, gift shop, and the first lady's office are now all gone.

¡°The East Wing, built in 1902, was an integral part of the White House,¡± the Beast Daily said, adding that many people who worked or visited the building were now shocked by the demolition of the entire building.

NBC previously reported that in response to external criticism, the White House responded in a statement on the 21st local time that the planned banquet hall was a bold and necessary expansion project. "For more than a century, successive US presidents have continued to renovate, expand and modernize the White House to meet the needs of the times". The statement also listed specific cases for illustration.

When asked why the whole building of the East Wing was still demolished after promising to "not damage the building", US President Trump responded with a rendering of the banquet hall in the White House on the 22nd, saying, "This may be the most beautiful banquet hall in history." Trump also said on the 23rd that the construction cost of the banquet hall will be donated by himself and his friends, and has received $350 million in donations so far.

It is understood that the White House's "groundbreaking" coincides with the shutdown of the US government. The Democratic National Committee of the United States said that while the American people are worried about basic livelihood and medical problems, the White House is busy building projects, which is tantamount to "blatant betrayal" to the people.
