POTUS to 'ring' in America's 250th with Belgian Delight, a Tariffic gift

Brussels: Dozens of diamonds spell out two giant letter "T" next to the Stars and Stripes and "1776" and "2026". Dozens more frame the numbers 45 and 47 in the shape of Superman's logo. A diamond-winged eagle carries a ruby shield and clutches an olive branch of emeralds, below a radiant "250" and atop the phrase "250 YEARS USA" etched in 18-karat gold.

All told, 321 diamonds, 56 sapphires, 13 emeralds and six rubies encrust the watch-sized gold ring presented this week to Bill White, the US ambassador to Belgium, to give to President Donald Trump.
