Biden throws shades at Putin: US president gifts his 'adversary' a pair of his favorite $300 AVIATORS and a $3,200 Steuben crystal bison at summit

President Joe Biden presented Russian President Vladimir Putin with a pair of his trademark aviator sunglasses and a bison sculpture as part of their summit in Geneva, Switzerland Wednesday.

The White House said Biden gifted Putin a crystal sculpture of an American Bison that was created by Steuben Glass of New York.

The company's website says the 'eye-catching piece' is a new release and retails for $3,200.

It's nine and a half inches long and just six inches tall.

It comes with an optional cherry base for $195, which the White House purchased as part of Putin's present, saying it's 'symbolic of our nation’s first president, George Washington.'

Putin's bison includes a custom engraved plaque commemorating the first meeting between the two leaders.

'In 1933, Steuben created a prismatic crystal formula that could capture, reflect and refract light unlike anything else in the world. Since that moment, Steuben crystal has illuminated everything it touches, casting light on the joys of everyday life,' the company's website says.

The aviators were made in Massachusetts by the company Randolph USA, which has been outfitting the American military with a special HGU-4/P Aviator for fighter pilots since 1978.

Since then they have provided aviators to the U.S. military and to NATO partners, the. White House pointed out.

NATO was formed after World War II as a deterrent against German and Soviet aggression.

The authentic military aviators on Randolph USA's website go for between $219 and $309.

The White House has yet to say if Putin presented Biden with any gifts.

Chemical glasses . Sure Putin won't use it

Putin will just flip it to the archives
They dont trust each other.
The summit didnt go down well at all.
Even Biden lost his cool during the press conference and Putin as usual came off as a Lagos island street bully

Gifts are memorable!

At least, Biden has been showing more maturity in dealing with other countries..

Very presidential

So much power in one room

Buhari please just mess up with just one of this men..let them show you say man pass man.

Nation pass nation.

Many would see it as weakness even though you're right.

The weakness part, may be but at least it's bringing peace... Wondering what Trump would have done to support Israel...

Mtchew

I comment my reserve.

Something is cooking from Biden's side, building a strong tie with Putin (Russia) at this point of his administration is very nice and strategic.

Putin I know. Trump I trust. who is Biden?

Putin be like I get nukes pass you my friend.

You would have called Trump a puppet if he did likewise.

I thought he was supposed to be TOUGH on Putin?

What happened to ' Putin is a dictator' ?

chemistry glasses mtcheeeew

Putin will have it scrutinized before being crushed to ensure no hidden agendas from the POTUS....

Espionage 1.1

Walkee:
Will all be melted in acid and thrown away. Putin will never keep a trajan horse.
Only Buhari will frame it and keep it as an achievement not knowing it has a micro camera and microphone

Trust me, it's clean. Biden wouldn't try to plant a camera or microphone through there.
Kgb and the Kremlin would discover it in a fly.

Both of them already have double agents working for them so, no need to mumu yourself by planting microbes in a silly glasses and sculpture.

So much greatnes in one room.

See their fake smile, they do not trust themselves

the putin guy is very security conscious and doesnt trust Uncle Sam

He woud have his scientists check the glass, for possible chips and recording/tracking device, thats if he doesnt flush it down into the abyss

nothing wey CIA no fit do when they want to eliminate someone

Good

Big men doings

Wow
