Volodymyr Zelensky’s gift to Donald Trump found his place in the White House after special events, TIME tells you.
In February, the Ukrainian President brought the boxer Oleksandr Usyk’s championship belt to Trump’s office and was supposed to reach it to his colleague. However, the meeting became such a quarrel that the gesture was not done.
Zelenskyi left the belt in them when she left the white house and didn’t know what happened to it after that.
-Maybe it’s still in the same place, the President threw to Time.
According to the magazine, a member of the White House staff noticed a belt when the Ukrainians had already left and took it to Trump’s personal dining area.
The title belt was placed among the souvenirs received by Trump – “a memoir of a failed diplomacy,” as the magazine describes.
Usyk and Zelenskyi are friends. The 38-year-old boxer was crowned as the undisputed champion of the heavyweight series in 2024 when he won Tyson Fury.
The gift that ended up in a white house was the belt of the WBC alliance, which was captured by Usyk from Fury.
