The video covers President Trump's response to the Supreme Court's emergency docket on whether construction of the White House ballroom can resume. Bloomberg's Greg Stohr explains that an appeals court decision would halt above-ground construction Friday unless Trump gets a stay. The core legal issue is whether the National Trust for Historic Preservation has standing to sue. There are no clear market or investable implications from the discussion.
