A tarp covers scaffolding on the North Portico..

The White House is making security-focused upgrades to its front door, an official told CNN, in a project that’s expected to take months.

The changes, which sources said have long been advocated by the US Secret Service, are aimed at fortifying the White House entrance at the North Portico, which has recently been obscured by scaffolding and a tarp as workers repair the exterior columns at President Donald Trump’s request.

But unlike many of Trump’s projects around the White House — from hanging gold signage to paving the Rose Garden — the work on the front door is not cosmetic, and instead focused on enhancing its security, the White House official said.


The US Secret Service did not immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment.

The security enhancements come as Trump has been the target of multiple assassination attempts, including at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner at the Washington Hilton in April. And last month, there was an alleged plot to attack the UFC fight on the White House South Lawn. Officials have pointed to those incidents as justification for the president’s sprawling, 90,000-square-foot ballroom project, which they’ve said is expected to include a sophisticated drone port and sniper nests, along with a secure underground bunker.


The North Portico fortifications are expected to be complete by approximately mid-September, the White House official said.

The door of the North Portico of the White House is visible as workers perform maintenance on the portico's columns on June 22.


On Friday morning, a third panel of tarp featuring an image of the White House exterior was unfurled around the North Portico scaffolding, where the work on the columns is ongoing.

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum had predicted that the column project, which involves stone restoration work, would be done “quickly,” and it was unclear why the tarp had been installed.

“It’ll go very quickly. I think they’ve been up, maybe, just about 10 days now, but these guys work very quick,” Burgum said in a recent appearance on “The Katie Miller Podcast.”

Iran cluster bomb will soon reach dere

Doesn’t mean anytime,they also recently repainted the air force one.

Iran would not dare fly a jet or cruise a ship out of the Middle East in an attempt to target the USA not to talk of the White House!

They can’t evn try it with Israel,how much more the US!

This wasn't done specifically because of Iran tho.. they're not that much of a threat ....there are big dawgs within that wants him down as well...they've tried more than once to eliminate him but have failed.

At 80 and after ordering the deaths of thousands of innocent people, children, and supporting the genocide in Gaza by giving bombs to his proxy in Occupied Palestine to kill tens of thousands of babies, Trump is scared of death and dying.
Smh.

He wants to kill and keep killing others but he does not want to be killed.

He is so scared that he is building bunkers under the ground in every room in his house and fortifying his doors. Mr Jailer is now a prisoner and no more peace for him.

NkataEgoEze:
They're doing upgrade because of potential suicide bombers
