À propos de cet audio


In today’s episode of Lest We Forget Historical, Lillian Cauldwell explores Presidential Gifts and the unusual items received by U.S. presidents throughout history. Since 1776, world leaders, royalty, and heads of state have presented extravagant and sometimes bizarre offerings to American presidents.From Abraham Lincoln declining a herd of elephants from the King of Siam in 1862 to Bill and Hillary Clinton receiving a hand-stitched Persian carpet featuring their faces, these gifts have ranged from lavish to outright peculiar. But none compare to the latest presidential gift—valued at an astonishing $400 million, making it the most expensive in history.These Presidential Gifts often reveal deeper political messages or cultural values behind the gestures, from diplomacy to influence.
