Donald Trump during his 2017 trip to Saudi Arabia was gifted exotic animal furs, three swords and three daggers among other presents.
New Delhi: The gifts handed over to former US President Donald Trump and his team by the super wealthy Saudi royal family have turned out to be fakes. Trump and his team were gifted luxurious robes allegedly made of cheetah and tiger fur.
In addition to the furs, Saudis gave other expensive gifts including three swords and three daggers, one of the daggers had a handle that appeared to be ivory. But, they are all fake, The New York Times said in a report.
The presents were given to Trump during his 2017 trip to Saudi Arabia but these gifts were not disclosed by the Trump administration for nearly four years. On President Trump's last full day of presidency, the White House handed the 'gifts' over to the General Services Administration. As it turns out, the US Fish and Wildlife Service seized the gifts this summer and that is when the startling discovery was made.
