US President Donald Trump returns to the White House in Washington, DC on July 15, 2026, amid construction work on a new helipad. Trump on July 13 confirmed that work was underway to build a "beautiful" new helipad at the White House, in his latest personally directed redesign to the iconic building. The helipad is situated on the South Lawn, where presidents and their family for decades have been photographed strolling across the grass to board or exit awaiting "Marine One" helicopters.
