Trump says he’s building a White House helipad for a new, more powerful Marine One

President Donald Trump says he's building a granite helipad on the White House lawn. The project, estimated to cost up to $6 million, is said to be privately funded. Trump says it's needed for new, more powerful presidential helicopters. Trump's confirmation of the project came as construction crews had already begun work on the South Lawn. Trump says Sikorsky Aircraft, a Lockheed Martin subsidiary, is covering the costs. The new helicopters have limited service because of exhaust vents that damage the lawn. Trump says the helipad will solve this issue. He adds that the helipad will also be used for other events, like outdoor news conferences.
