• The work is not a cosmetic renovation, unlike some other projects associated with Trump.
• The reinforcement efforts are linked to concerns about potential assassination attempts on President Donald Trump.
• There have been reports of an alleged Iranian plot to assassinate Trump, based on intelligence shared by Israel.

Points of divergence

• The renovation is expected to take several months and will be completed around mid-September. — fontanka
