1:03Now PlayingPublic tours of the White House have reportedly been canceled for the foreseeable future due to President Trump's plans to build a ballroom on the grounds. The administration canceled tours scheduled for next month and is no longer taking bookings past September. That's according to multiple congressional offices who arrange such visits for constituents. An estimated half-a-million people take that tour each year. The White House says the $200 million ballroom project will begin next month, though no specific start time has been announced.
