President Donald Trump has reportedly discussed his next possible major renovations to the White House: turning the historic Treaty Room into a bedroom suite with a bathroom.

The New York Times first reported that Trump was prepared to undertake "one of the most significant renovations in the history of the White House."

"The Treaty Room — which is separate from the Indian Treaty Room in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building — is one of the most historic rooms in the White House. Presidents Ulysses S. Grant and William McKinley used it as a Cabinet room, and it was where the Spanish-American War peace protocol of 1898, and the nuclear test ban treaty of 1963, were signed," the paper noted.

White House spokesperson Davis Ingle defended the president's desire to remodel the people's house in his image.

"President Trump is the builder-in-chief with an extraordinary eye for detail and design, and his bold vision will be imprinted upon the fabric of the America and be felt by generations to come," Ingle explained. "His successes will continue to give the White House glory it deserves."

Commission of Fine Arts Rodney Mims Cook Jr. confirmed that the president had talked to him about turning the Treaty Room into a bedroom in February.

"He wants to add a bathroom, improve the room," Mr. Cook told the Times.

Trump has also remodeled the bathroom connected to the Lincoln Bedroom in marble and gold, and is building a 90,000-square-foot ballroom that will cost around $400 million.

A new security 33,000-square-foot screening center for visitors is planned.

The U.S. government will pay a French energy firm nearly $1 billion to cancel its plans to build a pair of wind farms off the East Coast, the Trump administration announced Monday in its latest move to stymie offshore wind.

The French firm TotalEnergies will forfeit its leases for projects off the coasts of New York and North Carolina, with the United States paying $928 million to reimburse what the company initially spent on the leases.

Under the deal, TotalEnergies will reinvest that money into oil and gas projects, including a liquefied natural gas export facility in Texas.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly vowed to block the development of offshore wind projects, which many East Coast states have been counting on to meet their energy needs in the coming years. The projects canceled under the deal announced Monday would have provided power to more than 1 million homes.

Late last year, the Trump administration invoked classified national security threats to stop work on five wind farms that were under construction, but courts have ruled that the projects can proceed. But for dozens of other projects still in the planning and permitting stages, industry experts expect little progress while Trump remains in office.

The administration claimed in a statement that the projects were “unreliable and costly.” But New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, condemned the agreement.

“Using a pay-not-to-play scheme to pressure a company to not build offshore wind is an outrageous abuse of taxpayer dollars,” Hochul said in a statement to The New York Times.

Environmental groups also blasted the deal, with some noting that it comes as Trump’s war with Iran has caused chaos for global oil markets.

“This deal is an outrageous misuse of taxpayer dollars to prevent Americans from having clean, affordable power exactly when they need it most,” Ted Kelly, director and lead counsel for U.S. clean energy at the Environmental Defense Fund, said in a statement.

Surgeon General nominee Dr. Casey Means is running out of runway — growing Republican defections on the Senate health committee have left her without the votes needed to advance, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The healthy food advocate, championed by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., currently lacks sufficient GOP support to move forward, forcing Kennedy allies to scramble behind the scenes, working the phones to pressure wavering Republican senators.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Means needs unanimous Republican support from the health committee if all Democrats oppose her nomination, as expected. She doesn't have it.

The standstill leaves no clear path to confirmation.

Several Republican health committee members have signaled serious doubts without publicly committing their votes, including Sens. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana (the committee chairman), Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Susan Collins of Maine.

Even if Means clears committee, her prospects on the full Senate floor look bleak. Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) has indicated he's leaning toward voting no. Other Republicans seen as likely defectors include Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who voted against Kennedy's HHS confirmation due to Kennedy's vaccine skepticism. Means can afford to lose only three Republican votes if all Democrats vote against her.

When asked if Means had the committee votes, Cassidy declined to say: "I just have nothing to say on that right now."

Kennedy's allies are now in full pressure mode. Tony Lyons, a Kennedy confidant who leads nonprofit groups supporting the MAHA movement, urged supporters during a recent livestream to mobilize.

"I encourage all of you to call your senators and tell them that you want to see Dr. Means confirmed as soon as possible," Lyons said. "I have no doubt that she'll lead the charge towards empowering Americans to take control of their health."

McConnell's opposition carries particular weight — he was the sole Republican who voted against Kennedy's HHS confirmation. Cassidy, however, expressed reservations but ultimately joined Collins, Murkowski, Tillis and other Republicans in supporting Kennedy's confirmation. The Louisiana senator faces a difficult primary challenge where Trump has backed his opponent, making him unlikely to break ranks with the president.
