According to reports on October 15, internal documents show that US President Trump's White House ballroom project has raised about 333 million US dollars from private donors, of which at least 77 million US dollars came from donors who requested anonymity. Nvidia, Apple, and the Adelson family each pledged to donate $25 million, making them the biggest donors. Major companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Comcast also participated in donations. Total donations from the technology industry reached US$126.1 million, or about 38% of the total. The report pointed out that about half of the donations came from companies or their executives that received federal government contracts during Trump's second term. Some donors also involved matters such as government regulatory approval and presidential pardons, which raised concerns about the transfer of benefits from the outside world. However, the report did not confirm a direct link between donations and government incentives. The White House denied that there was a conflict of interest, saying that donors aimed to improve White House facilities. Trump previously said he plans to raise 400 million US dollars, but the construction cost of the project is expected to rise to 600 million US dollars.
