The White House has now released the names of 21 US companies that are donating millions to build a new 90,000-square-foot ballroom on its grounds, a project whose estimated cost has doubled since July to $400 million. The announcement from the White House comes amid increased urgency following a security incident at a correspondents’ dinner last weekend, the Associated Press reports. US President Donald Trump has insisted that the ballroom will not be funded by taxpayers, although public funds are being used for underground security infrastructure. In a post shared on Truth Social, Trump wrote, “What happened last night is exactly why our great military, the Secret Service, law enforcement and, for different reasons, every president for the last 150 years, are demanding that a large, safe and secure ballroom be built on the grounds of the White House. This event would never have happened with the Military Top Secret Ballroom currently under construction at the White House. Can’t make it fast enough! While beautiful, it has all the highest level security features, plus, there is no room at the top for unsecured people, and it is right inside the gates of the most secure building in the world, the White House. This ridiculous ballroom lawsuit brought by a woman walking her dog who has absolutely no ability to bring such a suit should be dropped immediately. Nothing should be allowed to interfere with its construction, which is on budget and well ahead of schedule!!! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”The Justice Department has cited this incident in urging the National Trust for Historic Preservation to drop its lawsuit against the project, arguing that the ballroom would enable presidents to host large gatherings without leaving the confines of the White House.

List of 21 American companies who donated millions for the new ballroom of Trump administration

The list reviewed by Fortune includes some of the country’s largest technology companies, defense contractors and energy companies. Of the 21 major donors:* Meta Platform – Promised billions in US investments by 2028.* Apple – Announces $100 billion in domestic manufacturing plans.* Amazon – Maintains major Pentagon contracts.* Google (Alphabet) – Contributed $22 million from the settlement to Ballroom.* Lockheed Martin – Reportedly donated more than $10 million.* Microsoft – Involved in federal cybersecurity partnerships.* Comcast – parent of NBCUniversal, frequent critic of Trump.* Altria – The tobacco giant’s support led to reduced FDA oversight.* Coinbase – Crypto exchange supports pro-crypto regulation.* Palantir Technologies – Major federal surveillance contractor.* T-Mobile – Network partner for Trump-branded cell service.* Ripple – Blockchain payments firm aligns with digital-asset policy.* Hard Rock International – casino brand with the Trump Organization.* Tether America – stablecoin issuer supporting digital-dollar options.* Union Pacific Railroad – Fulfilling merger ambitions.* Micron Technology – Pledged $200 billion in US chip investment.* Caterpillar – Symbol of “Made in America” ​​manufacturing.* Booz Allen Hamilton – Defense and cyber security contractor.*HP – Longtime donor with military contracts.* NextEra Energy – renewable energy utility balancing coal policy criticism.* Reynolds American – Tobacco conglomerate with past Trump fundraising ties.The donation is being donated to the Trust for the National Mall, which is a non-profit organization and is tax-deductible. While Trump has said he will personally contribute, his name does not appear on the donor list.

China is accelerating the use of robotics in one of its most critical systems: the national power grid. China’s state-owned State Grid Corporation has outlined plans to invest about $1 billion (about 6.8 billion yuan) to buy about 8,500 robots, with deployment expected on a large scale by 2026. These machines will aid in inspection and maintenance in substations and transmission networks, including in remote or hazardous environments. The move reflects a broader effort to improve efficiency, security and reliability in power distribution as demand grows, while also advancing China’s ambitions in industrial robotics and AI-enabled infrastructure.

What’s included in China’s $1B robot rollout

The planned fleet includes a mix of machine types already being tested or deployed in grid operation. Quadruped robots, often called robot dogs, are designed for patrolling and inspection in challenging terrain and large substations. Wheeled robots equipped with robotic arms are being developed for controlled maintenance work requiring precise operations. Humanoid robots are also part of the broader approach, although they remain in limited and largely experimental roles. Domestic companies like Unitri Robotics, Deep Robotics and UBTech Robotics are contributing to the development of these systems. Current deployments still focus primarily on inspection rather than complex repair work, especially in structured substation environments.

What are these robots designed to do

Grid robots are used to support routine and high-risk operations within the electricity network. They can detect defects using thermal imaging and other sensors, monitor equipment condition, and identify anomalies that may not be immediately visible to human inspectors. They are also deployed to inspect transmission lines in mountainous or inaccessible areas, reducing the need for personnel to enter hazardous locations. In controlled settings, some robots can perform basic, repetitive maintenance tasks. These functions are already being tested in a number of areas and are helping to reduce reliance on manual inspections where the risks are greatest.

change the way of working

Despite the scale of the rollout, the robots are not expected to replace human maintenance workers. Their role is to complement the existing workforce by reducing the risk of hazardous situations, improving consistency in inspections and enabling faster fault detection in large networks. Human technicians are essential for complex repairs, system-level decisions, and emergency management. This shift represents an evolution in the way work is done, with machines handling specific tasks while people retain overall control.

Why is China investing heavily in grid automation?

China operates one of the largest and most complex electricity networks in the world, spanning vast geographic areas that include remote and difficult terrain. Maintaining this system presents significant logistical challenges, especially as electricity demand continues to grow due to the increasing energy needs of industrial expansion, urbanization and digital infrastructure. The development of ultra-high-voltage transmission systems has further increased this complexity. Robotics offers a practical way to improve efficiency, reduce risk, and enable more consistent monitoring across the network.

A push into industrial robotics

The Grid Automation initiative is part of a broader national strategy to expand capabilities in robotics and artificial intelligence. Industrial environments such as power networks provide structured conditions suitable for automation and generate continuous operational data that can be used to refine AI systems over time. Large-scale deployment in such settings allows companies and state operators to develop technologies beyond laboratory conditions, accelerating their practical application.

What does this mean for the future of power systems

China’s approach highlights how critical infrastructure is becoming a testing ground for robotics and AI technologies. While full automation of power grids is still away, the increased use of machines for inspection and routine maintenance is likely to impact the way utilities operate globally. The change is gradual, with robots playing defined roles within existing systems, improving efficiency and safety while human oversight remains central.

New Delhi: Gujarat Titans won the toss and elected to bowl first against defending champions Royal Challengers Bangalore in a crucial IPL 2026 match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday.Gujarat Titans once again kept the fast bowler out Prasidh Krishna Despite his impressive returns this season. The right-arm fast bowler, who has taken 12 wickets in seven matches and is among the team’s leading wicket-takers, was not included in the playing eleven for the second consecutive game.Gill confirmed at the toss that the Titans are unchanged from their previous outing – an emphatic eight-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings – but did not elaborate on Prasidh’s absence.“We’re going to bowl first. Looks a bit dry, a bit scattered. The first four or five overs might give us a bit of swing, and if there’s dew, we always like to chase that,” Gill said.Gill supports conditions, stresses importance of domestic expansionThe GT captain stressed the importance of consistency in the context of the tournament, especially with consecutive home games.“The two points are very important for us. The next two matches, including this one at home, will decide where we stand and how far we go in the tournament,” he said.Gill also acknowledged the challenge posed by RCB and said, “They are the defending champions and are playing really good cricket. Hopefully, it is going to be a great game.”Reflecting on the team’s morale, he said, “After the last match, the mood is quite good – lighter and lighter. It’s about giving everything you’ve got and putting in the right effort.”Patidar confident despite getting invitation to batrcb captain Rajat Patidar Admitted that he too would have liked to field first but remained confident of making a strong score.Patidar said, “Obviously, we were looking to field first, but in the IPL, these are generally good wickets to bat on. There is some grass there, but I don’t think that will help much. We will try to put up a good score and put them under pressure.”He also highlighted the team’s collective effort this season. “The way we have played so far has been fantastic. Every player has stepped up for the team. The performance of different players in different matches is always a positive sign.”Patidar confirmed that RCB, like GT, is going with an unchanged lineup.

Mumbai: The prestigious Marylebone Cricket Club, which is the custodian of the rules of the game, on Thursday defended the controversial decision of the umpires to give out Kolkata Knight Riders batsman Angkrish Raghuvanshi for obstructing the field during a recent IPL 2026 match. The London-based club, which is headquartered at the historic Lord’s Cricket Ground, issued a ‘legal clarification’ regarding obstruction of the field, saying Raghuvanshi’s dismissal met the criteria that “a batsman who changes direction while running, particularly one who changes direction to run across the pitch, or takes any other route that would not be the fastest route to the other end, is acting knowingly.”Go beyond limits with our YouTube channel. Subscribe now!The controversial incident took place during KKR’s match against Lucknow Super Giants at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow last Sunday. Raghuvanshi took a quick single and was sent back by her partner. He turned, dived to tighten his grip and was caught by the ball as the throw arrived. LSG’s fielders appealed, and on review, the third umpire, Rohan Pandit, gave him out. The pundit ruled that Raghuvanshi “changed his direction of motion” after seeing the ball thrown at him.
