President Donald Trump unveiled plans to construct a granite helipad on the White House South Lawn, describing it as a practical upgrade to accommodate the next generation of Marine One helicopters, funded by Sikorsky.

“For 50 years we’ve been landing helicopters on grass, the grass is wet, soggy,” Trump said during an Oval Office appearance Monday. “So now, we’re building a helipad. Beautiful helipad. and it’s got the seal of the White House on [it] in granite, carved granite.”
