Introduction

Some Republican leaders want to spend 1 billion dollars on security for the White House.

Main Body

Chuck Grassley wrote a new law. This law gives money to the Secret Service. The money is for new security walls and rooms in the East Wing. The government says the president is in danger. A person tried to kill the president in April 2026. Now the government wants more security. Before, the government said rich companies would pay for the new rooms. Now, they want to use tax money. Democratic leaders are angry. They say the project is just for show.

Conclusion

The Senate must vote on this law soon. Republicans and Democrats do not agree.
