Donald Trump declares the Oval Office a national monument The document signed by the President of the United States is intended to ensure the preservation of the place, its proper care and protection of its historical appearance in the future. The proclamation designates the Oval Office itself, the exterior of the Oval Office and the Cabinet Office as a national monument. The decision was made in accordance with the Antiquities Law. The document instructs the Minister of the Interior to develop a management plan for the monument in collaboration with other federal departments. The priority should be to preserve the historical appearance of the place. Before they are substantially altered or destroyed, it will be necessary to document, investigate possible alternatives and evaluate the consistency of the proposed changes with the historical significance of the property. The White House said that in this way Trump seeks to recognize the historical significance of the Oval Office and its protection for future generations. The administration emphasized that the Oval Office served as the primary workspace of the US president for nearly a century and became one of the most recognizable symbols of American power. The proclamation also notes that the White House's existing status as a National Historic Landmark is insufficient to provide separate protection for the Oval Office and its surrounding areas. At the same time, the document does not prohibit the president from changing the furniture, choosing furniture and performing routine operational and safety works, if they do not cause significant damage to the historical structure and the architectural appearance of the place.
