一名白宫官员告诉CNN,白宫正对正门进行以安保为核心的升级改造,该项目预计将耗时数月。
消息人士称,这些改造长期以来一直是美国特勤局倡导的,旨在强化北草坪入口处的安保。近期由于工人应唐纳德·特朗普总统的要求修复外部立柱,该区域一直被脚手架和防水布覆盖。
但这位白宫官员表示,与特朗普在白宫周边的许多项目——悬挂金色标牌、翻新玫瑰园等——不同,正门改造并非外观美化工程,而是专注于提升安保性能。
美国特勤局未立即回应CNN的置评请求。
此次安保升级之际,特朗普已成为多起暗杀企图的目标,包括4月在华盛顿希尔顿酒店举行的白宫记者晚宴上的袭击图谋。上月还曾有一起针对白宫南草坪UFC赛事的袭击密谋。官员们将这些事件作为总统耗资巨大的9万平方英尺宴会厅项目的正当理由,该项目预计将包含先进的无人机停机坪、狙击手哨位以及一处安全地下掩体。

这位白宫官员透露,北草坪入口的安保改造预计将于9月中旬左右完成。
周五上午,围绕北草坪脚手架又展开了第三块印有白宫外观图案的防水布,立柱维修工作仍在进行中。
内政部长道格·伯古姆曾预测这项涉及石材修复的立柱工程将“快速完成”,目前尚不清楚为何要安装防水布。
“这项工程会进展得非常快。我觉得他们才刚开工大概10天,但这些工人干活特别麻利,”伯古姆在近期做客《凯蒂·米勒播客》时说道。
The White House is upgrading its front door to fortify the entrance

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.
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.”
