According to reports in the *New York Times*, US President Donald Trump is considering a significant change to the White House: converting the briefing room into a swimming pool. This action would further limit media access, following previous instances of excluding certain outlets. The potential transformation has raised concerns regarding transparency and the administration’s relationship with the press. The White House briefing room is a historic space used for official announcements and interactions between the President and the press corps. Such a change would represent a notable departure from established White House procedures. The President has previously expressed frustration with media coverage, and this move could be interpreted as a continuation of that sentiment. Details regarding the feasibility and logistics of such a conversion remain unclear.
