华盛顿3月30日电（路透社）——美国政府周一表示，美军正在升级白宫的新东翼配套设施，此前总统唐纳德·特朗普称该宴会厅将建于一个“大型”设防设施之上。
“军方正在对白宫的现有设施进行升级，我无权透露更多细节，”白宫发言人卡罗琳·莱维特在新闻发布会上说道。

莱维特的此番表态是在特朗普更新了耗资4亿美元的白宫宴会厅项目之后作出的，该项目将取代已被拆除的东翼。
周日，特朗普在空军一号上向记者展示了新建筑的大型效果图，并吹嘘其安全性能，包括“防弹玻璃”和“反无人机屋顶”。
“如今军方正在宴会厅下方修建大型设施，这一计划最近因一起愚蠢的诉讼被公开。但军方确实正在宴会厅下方修建大型设施，目前该工程正在施工中，”特朗普说道。
“从本质上讲，这个宴会厅将成为下方在建工程的掩护……包括防范无人机袭击以及其他任何形式的威胁。”

这座面积达9万平方英尺（约合8360平方米）的宴会厅将取代特朗普于去年10月下令拆除的东翼。东翼下方原本设有总统紧急行动中心，这是供总统使用的应急掩体。
拆除行动遭到了议员、历史学家和建筑保护倡导者的批评，同时也引发了一场仍在进行中的诉讼。批评人士反对在未进行联邦审查或公开征求公众意见的情况下拆除旧建筑，并从美学和历史层面对这座庞大的新设施提出了质疑。
负责审批该项目的两个联邦机构之一的国家首都规划委员会，已将相关变更投票安排在周四进行。
特朗普曾表示，这座可容纳1000人的宴会厅是对宾夕法尼亚大道西北1600号狭小陈旧的接待设施的必要升级。

WASHINGTON, March 30 (Reuters) – The U.S. military is upgrading White House facilities for the new East Wing, the administration said on Monday, after President Donald Trump said the ballroom would be built atop a “massive” fortified complex.
“The military is making some upgrades to their facilities here at the White House, and I’m not privy to provide any more details on that,” White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said at a press briefing.

Leavitt’s comments followed Trump’s own update on the $400 million White House ballroom to replace the demolished East Wing.
On Sunday, Trump showed a large rendering of the new building to reporters aboard Air Force One, touting security features including “bulletproof glass” and a “drone-proof roof.”
“Now the military is building a big complex under the ballroom, which has come out recently because of a stupid lawsuit that was filed. But the military is building a massive complex under the ballroom, and that’s under construction,” Trump said.
“The ballroom essentially becomes a shed for what’s being built under … including from drones and including from any other thing.”

The 90,000-square-foot (8,360-square-meter) ballroom will replace the East Wing, which Trump ordered demolished in October. Underneath that building was the Presidential Emergency Operations Center, an emergency bunker for the president.
The demolition drew criticism from lawmakers, historians and preservation advocates, as well as an ongoing lawsuit. Critics objected to the decision to demolish the old structure without federal reviews or public comment, and they have critiqued the massive new facility on aesthetic and historical grounds.
The National Capital Planning Commission, one of two federal bodies required to sign off on the project, has a vote on the changes scheduled for Thursday.
Trump has said the ballroom, which will accommodate 1,000 people, is a necessary upgrade to the cramped and dated reception facilities at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest.
