The White House is suspending public tours because of the construction of a 90,000-square-foot ballroom initiated by President Donald Trump, a White House official said.

The Trump administration will suspend public White House tours due to the construction that is scheduled to start soon on a new ballroom, multiple congressional offices told ABC News. Spokespeople or the official websites for several of these members say they were told by the White House that the pause on these tours will start in September and tours could be postponed "indefinitely.

The White House has canceled tours for September, and it’s unclear when the long-standing tradition will resume.

U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's speech to the annual Jackson Hole economic conference on Friday comes amid unprecedented pressure on the central bank from President Donald Trump, but mixed economic data may pull Powell toward a middle ground that leaves major questions unresolved.

The Fed chair said the decision would be based on incoming economic data, signaling it was not a response to Trump’s calls for lower borrowing costs.
