Swiss gold bar and Rolex desk clock
A Swiss business delegation presented an engraved one-kilogram gold bar and a Rolex desk clock during a November 2025 White House visit. Reporting valued the bar at about $130,000. The United States subsequently announced a tariff reduction from 39% to 15%. Reuters reported on November 27 that two Swiss lawmakers requested a legal examination. A person close to the delegation said the gifts were for the presidential library and had White House ethics clearance.
