Quote:“We all got suitcases full of jewels,” Rhodes said in an email exchange with the Guardian. “ We all gave them to the state protocol office who handles gifts. You have the option to buy the gifts, but given the price – I don’t remember what it was but it was tens of thousands, I believe – no one kept them that I recall.”

It has previously been reported that the then Saudi king, Abdullah, gave Michelle Obama a ruby and diamond jewellery set worth $132,000 (£100,000) including earrings, and a ring, bracelet and necklace. Those presents, together with luxury gifts to the president and the couple’s two daughters, were handed over to the US National Archives, as required by US law.
According to the state department register, Rhodes was given a pair of silver cufflinks, a man’s and a woman’s watch, a silver pen, and a diamond jewelry set including earrings, a ring and a bracelet, of an estimated total value of $5,405. Similar gift sets, of values up to $9,000, were given to 13 other White House staff.
Donald Trump made his first foreign trip as president to Saudi Arabia, in May last year, accompanied by a large entourage including his wife, Melania, his daughter Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner. In public, King Salman gave Trump a gold medal and chain.
Gifts given to the Trump family and entourage in private have not been made public. The state department protocol gift unit has not yet published its records for 2017 .
