WATCH: Trump says Sikorsky is paying for a 'beautiful' granite helipad at the White House

President Donald Trump announced on Monday the construction of a granite helipad on the White House South Lawn. This new landing area is designed to accommodate more powerful presidential choppers, specifically for Marine One. The project replaces a previous grassy area and follows the installation of a UFC arena. This development is the latest addition to the ongoing construction activities currently taking place across the White House grounds to upgrade the facility's aviation infrastructure.
