On 5 November, United States President Donald Trump signed a proclamation granting the Oval Office the status of a national monument. The document, published on the official White House website, is aimed at protecting the room from significant changes that may be introduced by future administrations.
The new protection regime applies not only to the President's office itself but also covers adjacent areas, specifically the Cabinet Room. Oversight of preserving the historical appearance of these facilities is entrusted to the US Department of the Interior, specifically the National Park Service.
The head of state stated that any serious transformations of these premises must receive approval from legislators. Trump cited a hypothetical example: if his successors decide to make the Oval Office square, they will have to turn to Congress. The President expressed hope that Congress would not allow the historical shape of the room to be changed.
However, the text of the published proclamation does not contain a direct requirement to coordinate any significant changes with Congress. The document establishes an obligation to document and review plans for major reconstruction or demolition, as well as to assess their impact on the historical appearance. Future presidents retain the right to change the interior, select furniture, and carry out routine maintenance work, provided that they do not violate the architectural integrity of the premises.
The White House itself and its grounds already have the status of a national historic landmark, but now the Oval Office, along with adjacent halls, has received separate protection.
After returning to the White House in January 2025, Donald Trump made significant changes to the decoration of his office. The interior featured numerous gold decorative elements, figurines, and additional portraits of American political figures.
In addition, at the President's initiative, the East Wing of the White House was demolished in 2025 to make way for the construction of a new ballroom. This project sparked controversy regarding the permissibility of large-scale renovation of the historic residence.
