President Donald Trump is a well-known fan of gold and was gifted an old hunk of brass from King Charles III on Tuesday which he may find just as precious as that other precious metal.
The King returned to the White House Tuesday evening for a state dinner to cap off his two-day visit to Washington. He gifted the American president a Second World War-era submarine’s bell, polished to a mirror shine, which had once been part of a British submarine that spent more than 20 years in Australia when the Royal Navy maintained a permanent presence there.
