=== The West Wing ===
The West Wing of the White House is where most of the President’s executive work is done. It houses the famous Oval Office, the Situation Room, the Cabinet Room, and offices for the President’s senior staff. The West Wing has been the site of crucial decision-making, particularly during times of war and national crises. It also serves as the backdrop for many public announcements and media briefings, underscoring its importance in shaping U.S. policy and government operations.

=== Key Events and Meetings ===
From major international negotiations to critical domestic policy discussions, the White House has been the stage for many historical events. In its over two centuries of existence, it has witnessed significant moments such as the signing of key legislation, meetings with foreign leaders, and pivotal speeches addressing the nation. The White House is often at the center of '''alarm''' when it comes to national security, hosting military and intelligence briefings on matters that affect not just the U.S. but the world.
