The White House is making security-focused upgrades to its front door, an official told CNN, in a project that’s expected to take months. The changes, which sources said have long been advocated by the US Secret Service, are aimed at fortifying the White House entrance at the North Portico.
Security Enhancements
The security enhancements come as the President has been the target of multiple threats, including at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and an alleged plot to attack the UFC fight on the White House South Lawn. The North Portico fortifications are expected to be complete by approximately mid-September, the White House official said.
