1.2 billion dollars ? can we start counting the zeros
there is a saying in India, some body's money makes for a great village festival. Giving a souvenir or memorabilia yes that makes sense but obscenely rich gifts simply send a different message.

Well I guess theres more trouble waiting for Iran.

No US president can accept a gift worth more than a few thousand dollars, if its higher it goes to the US treasury.. that is why this article, with watches, sword, diamonds, precious stones, yacht and so on shows a lot of ignorance from the writer.. A BS article..

Yet he can accept gifts on behalf of the country for the treasoury department....ofcourse all this if given will be utilized for the american people...

What a BS.
Is there any real journalism in Pakistan?

Dont make me laugh u cartoon....

Sorry, I can't take any Pakistani newspaper seriously after reading this BS.
Do "journalists" in Pakistan take intensive courses on Journalism before starting any task in this respected occupation?

Yes, but these gifts are personal, like watches and so on, the only gift he has received like other US presidents before him was the highest order of KSA which is in Gold and will most likely end up in the US treasury department,, otherwise huge gifts worth millions might be considered as bribes in the US justice system..

Gifts Given to the U.S. President - The Atlantic

All 274 gifts given to Barack Obama between 2009 and 2012, ranked ..

According to a document from the Congressional Research Service gifts from foreign governments aren't actually property of the president. The document states: 'A tangible gift of more than minimal value accepted for reasons of protocol or courtesy may not be kept as a personal gift, however, but is considered accepted on behalf of and property of the United States, and in the case of such a gift for the President or the President's family, is handled by the National Archives and Records Administration'.

The sword worth 200 mil will also end in the treasury, the statue minature etc all will end in treasury, i dont knw about the watches though...

Is there even a concept called journalism in saudia??

Pakistani media is the most independant in the region. 24/7 our media freely bashes our own government and other majority segments of society openly without any state backlash while in ur stupid excuse for a nation people are thrown of helicopters for speaking against the crown.

U people wont recognize journalism if it danced naked infront of u with bells on.

So as i said coming from a country such as yours, dont make me laugh and dont qoute me again. I consider indulging into any sort of discussion with an al saud family loyalist as an insult to general human intellect.

It used to be that bieng a muslim automatically gave u the right to travel to the holy land for hajj without any visa and than this degenarate family came into power. The rest as they say is a disgrace to history itself.

This is disgraceful, what gives this single family of alsauds the right to squander the wealth of arabs like this? , i literally feel nausea at this deobochary..

I am against Pakistan becoming part of any alliance against any Muslim country, but let's keep things in perspective here. A $200 million worth sword has to have an awful lot of expensive diamonds encrusted.

25 kg of gold is worth around $1 million ( @ $1,250 per ounce or $40,500 per kg), so that leaves another $199 millions. At Blue Nile a best quality 5 carat diamond is worth $ 500,000. So unless the sword is an ancient artifact, it can not be worth $200 million!!! This story does not seem to be true.

Who knws might be some historical arifact or some alsaud house hierloom...

It's not about the gifts themselves that are key, but the perception of the giving of the gifts. Giving anyone $1.2 billion in gifts is an attention-getter, signifying the importance of Saudi-US relations. And Trump is such an ego maniac that the idea of someone gave such extravagant gifts will create quite an impression on him. No doubt he's still bragging Melania about it and anybody else who cares to listen.

Only? That amount their princes spent in one night gambling

 

[Bombaywalla]

Tacky new money arabs!

 

[T-Rex]

Its the king's choice.

You are still living in the era of emperors and kings. They have been abolished for a good reason.

The wealth of a country squandered for the survival of one family...

And then they point the finger at the Alawite scum in Syria. It is the same trend. It's a fierce competition for the title "greatest scum of the world". Sissy, asshead, hasina and the SA despot, all are in the same league.

 

[unbiasedopinion]

All the wealth looted by Arabs around the world in their time of glory. Such a shame only one family is channeling all the wealth where as billions are starving for even single meal.
