lagazzettadelmezzogiorno.it (Italian) —

President Donald Trump presented Chinese President Xi Jinping with a sculpture of the bald eagle, the US national symbol, during a state dinner in Washington on September 24. Trump expressed hope the artwork would find a "beautiful place" in Beijing. Trump described the piece as a gift made by a top American artist in direct collaboration with himself and Melania, emphasizing that the eagle embodies America's free and upward-looking spirit. He unveiled the sculpture from behind a drape during his remarks. Xi was born in 1953, the Year of the Snake in the Chinese zodiac, though it was unclear if the eagle was depicted catching a snake due to the dim lighting in the room.
