Trump says he's declaring the Oval Office and the Cabinet Room national monuments

President Donald Trump said on November 5, 2026 that he is declaring the Oval Office and the Cabinet Room national monuments, CNN reported. The move would give the two most famous rooms in the White House a formal protected status, though questions remain about what the designation would actually change in practice. The announcement is the latest in a series of moves by Trump to reshape the White House and its surroundings, including his planned arch near the Lincoln Memorial, which a federal planning commission was also voting on. Future presidents could still redecorate the rooms, according to reporting on the plan. Source: CNN, November 5, 2026.
