The Constitution (Article I, Section 9) prohibits anyone in the US Government from receiving a personal gift from a foreign head of state
I’ve added some bold to a word that’s relevant here.
It’s actually commonplace for foreign leaders to give gifts to US Presidents. These gifts are not personal gifts and are actually owned by the US government. Some of these gifts wind up in a Presidential library.
They can’t take this stuff home with them as that would be illegal. Of course Trump does take stuff home with him that belongs to the US government, but that’s the illegal part, not the accepting of the gift.
Fun Fact: Justin Trudeau (really Canada’s ministry of foreign affairs) gave Trump a nicely framed photo of a hotel Trump’s grandfather owned in the Yukon. That hotel was actually a brothel. The Trump family… keeping it classy for generations.
Extremely committed to being uncommitted.
I thought Israel was supposed to withdraw from Gaza? Are we now demanding the IDF stay in Gaza and protect it from the US military?
This is all nonsense anyway. The US isn’t going to be sending any military into Gaza. Trump is just trolling.
