  "account": "US President Donald Trump has declared the Oval Office, his official workspace in the White House, a national monument. The move, signed through an executive order, aims to prevent future presidents from making significant changes to the room without congressional approval. Trump's Oval Office is notable for its extensive use of gold ornaments, a design choice that has been met with criticism, with former President Barack Obama recently mocking its luxurious decor. The national monument status also applies to the adjacent Cabinet meeting room.",
  "summary": "Donald Trump has filled the walls in the Oval Office with gold ornaments. After being mocked by Barack Obama, he now wants to make it more difficult to renovate the presidential workspace.",
