US President Joe Biden gave the White House Oval Office a slight makeover. Mr Biden revealed the new decor late on Wednesday when he invited reporters into his new office <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/world/the-americas/biden-s-first-17-presidential-orders-1.1150769">to watch him sign a series of executive orders</a> hours after he became president. A bust of Cesar Chavez, the labour leader and civil rights activist, is nestled among an array of framed family photos displayed on a desk behind the new president. Also represented in sculpture are civil rights figureheads Martin Luther King Jr and Rosa Parks. A bust of Winston Churchill, the war time British leader, was among the items removed in the revamp. Benjamin Franklin peers down at Mr Biden from a portrait on a nearby wall. Mr Biden brought a dark blue rug out of storage to replace a lighter coloured one installed by former president Donald Trump. One office feature remains: Mr Biden is also using what is known as the Resolute Desk because it was built from oak used in the British Arctic exploration ship <em>HMS Resolute</em>. Mr Trump used that desk, too.
