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

President Donald Trump announced the construction of a granite helipad on the White House lawn to accommodate new, more powerful Marine One helicopters. The project, privately funded by Sikorsky Aircraft (a Lockheed Martin subsidiary), aims to address issues with the helicopters' exhaust damaging the grass. Trump emphasized the helipad's design and the need for the new aircraft, which replaced older models still in limited service.
