US President Donald Trump has given a makeover to the Oval Office withing hours of moving in to the White House as he reinstalled a bust of former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and introduced some other changes.
The bust was removed to outside the Treaty Room in the private residence of the White House from the Oval Office in 2009 under Trump's predecessor Barack Obama. The move had sparked conservative ire early in Obama's administration.
Trump, however, has retained the bust of Martin Luther King Jr, brought to the Oval Office by Obama.
This was one of the most notable changes as a group of White House pool reporters entered the Oval Office for Trump to make his first few signatures on documents and an executive order.
New White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer tweeted a picture of the bust of Martin Luther King Jr after some media reports and a White House pool report incorrectly mentioned that it has been removed. The report was quickly corrected.
"(This is) a reminder of the media danger of tweet first check facts later," Spicer tweeted.
Inside the Oval Office, Trump is also using the famous Resolute desk, an 1,880 gift from Queen Victoria and first used in the Oval by John F Kennedy. It is now being used by its Seventh President.
According to a White House pool report, the drapes in the Oval Office have been replaced. This morning they were crimson. Now they are gold.
Additionally, a bust of Teddy Roosevelt is in one of the bookshelves. Some of the artwork have also been swapped.
According to a CNN report, some paintings have also been replaced by Trump, including two by the door by Edward Hopper.
Trump has held onto "The Avenue in the Rain," by the American impressionist Childe Hassam, from Obama's Oval Office, and the back wall still hangs a painting of George Washington above the fireplace.
