【Latest News: Swiss Billionaire Comments on Gifting a Golden Brick to Trump】
On November 28, 2025, Geneva time, after being strongly criticized by Swiss citizens for gifting a golden brick to Trump, Alfred Gantner, a member of the Swiss delegation visiting the United States, a businessman, and co-founder of the investment company Partners Group, stated in an interview with the Tages-Anzeiger newspaper:
A gift is a tradition in diplomacy. Our gift is purely symbolic, conveying a message. This has certainly nothing to do with bribery. By gifting a golden brick, we hope to demonstrate the possibility of quickly starting the production of such golden bricks in Oklahoma. The desk clock indicates that the Swiss economy will not waste time trying to reduce the US trade deficit.
This Swiss billionaire emphasized:
President Trump had previously also accepted expensive gifts from other companies and other countries, including an airplane from Qatar and a Crown from South Korea.
