President Donald Trump briefly stopped his speech at the State Department to admire the building’s décor, joking that he might relocate some of it to the White House. “Every once in a while I’ll come in here and grab a painting,” Trump quipped, before turning his attention to the chandeliers and suggesting they could also find a new home at the White House. The lighthearted moment drew attention away from his prepared remarks as Trump playfully surveyed the historic surroundings.
