民主党参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦和理查德·布卢门撒尔周一晚间致函特朗普政府及政府关键官员，询问一枚钻戒的下落，他们称该戒指目前下落不明。
Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal sent a letter Monday night to key Trump Administration and government officials asking about a diamond ring that they say currently has unknown whereabouts.
据分享给《新闻周刊》的信件显示，这封致函总统礼品主管、联邦总务管理局局长和美国国家档案馆馆长的信中，两位民主党议员要求就“安特卫普世界钻石中心（AWDC）赠予特朗普总统的一枚镶嵌321颗钻石和75颗宝石的18K金戒指”作出回应。
In a letter, shared with Newsweek, addressed to the Director of Presidential Gifts, the General Services Administration Administrator and the Archivist of the United States, the Democratic lawmakers are demanding answers on the "18-karat gold ring encrusted with 321 diamonds and 75 gemstones that the Antwerp World Diamond Centre (AWDC) gifted to President Trump."
议员们表示，该物品是在政府宣布豁免欧洲钻石“混乱关税”前几周赠送的。
The lawmakers say that the item was gifted "just weeks before the Administration announced it was exempting European diamonds" from what the senators identify as "chaotic tariffs."
参议员们称：“迄今为止，我们未见任何公开报道显示该戒指的当前位置。”议员们还表示，当询问AWDC该礼物是否涉嫌行贿时，对方回应称这是赠予美国的礼物，而非赠予特朗普个人。
The senators said, "To date, we are not aware of any public reporting indicating the current location of the ring." The lawmakers said that when the AWDC was asked about the gift being a potential bribe, they were told it was a gift to the United States and not to Trump personally.
《新闻周刊》已就该信函及戒指下落联系白宫、总务管理局和国家档案馆置评，据估算该戒指价值约3万美元。
Newsweek has reached out to the White House, GSA, and the Archivist for comment on the letter and on the whereabouts of the ring, which is estimated to be worth about $30k.
根据信件内容，AWDC于2026年6月将戒指交予美国驻比利时大使比尔·怀特。议员们称，截至2026年7月，白宫“确认该戒指尚未呈交特朗普总统”。钻石关税豁免于7月24日恢复，距离礼物赠送宣布仅几周时间。信中议员们提出的部分问题：白宫礼品办公室问题：戒指目前实体位于何处？
According to the letter, the AWDC gave the ring to the U.S. Ambassador to Belgium, Bill White, in June of 2026. The lawmakers say that as of July 2026, the White House "confirmed that the ring had not yet been presented to President Trump." The diamond tariff exemption was reinstated on July 24, just a few weeks after the gift was announced. Some of the questions the lawmakers ask in the letter: Questions for the White House Gift Office: Where is the ring physically located today?
请详细描述戒指完整的保管链条，包括从怀特大使接受至今每一次交接的具体日期。
Describe in detail the ring’s complete chain of custody, inclusive of each date on which the ring changed hands, from Ambassador White’s acceptance to its current disposition.
戒指是如何分类的？白宫是否将这枚戒指归类为以个人身份、官方身份送给特朗普总统的礼物，还是送给美国的礼物？向GSA和国家档案和记录管理局提出的问题：如果有的话，这枚戒指是什么时候交付给贵机构保管的？
How has the ring been classified? Did the White House classify the ring as a gift to President Trump in his personal capacity, his official capacity, or as a gift to the United States? Questions for the GSA and National Archives and Records Administration: When, if at all, was the ring delivered into the custody of your agency?
它还在你的监管之下吗？如果没有，戒指现在在哪里，是在什么日期转移的？
Does it remain in your custody? If not, where is the ring now and on what date was it transferred?
请解释贵机构决定是否应储存、出售或处置礼品的考虑因素和程序。你的机构对戒指的处置有何决定？参议员寻求“清晰”参议员们在信中表示：“AWDC赠送这枚戒指的情况，以及对其处置的不明确，引发了人们对总统是否确实接受这枚戒指作为减少钻石关税的交换协议的一部分的重大疑问。据哥伦比亚广播公司新闻报道，收到礼物后，特朗普发送了一段视频，感谢他的“安特卫普朋友”。这份礼物于6月28日宣布，但赠送日期尚不清楚。这并不是特朗普政府第一次面临交换指控。
Please explain the considerations and process by which your agency determines whether the gift should be stored, sold or disposed of. What did your agency decide about the disposition of the ring? Senators Seeking 'Clarity' In the letter, the senators say, "The circumstances in which AWDC gifted this ring, and the lack of clarity about its disposition, raise significant questions about whether the President has in fact accepted the ring as part of a quid pro quo agreement to reduce diamond tariffs." When the gift was received, Trump sent out a video thanking his "friends from Antwerp," according to CBS News reports.
围绕白宫的礼物争议最公开的例子涉及卡塔尔。2025年5月，特朗普从卡塔尔接受了一架价值4亿美元的波音747-8。
The gift was announced June 28 although the date when it was given is still unknown. This is not the first time the Trump administration is facing quid pro quo accusations.
民主党参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默猛烈抨击了这架飞机，称其为“美国历史上外国政府最大的贿赂”。“白宫表示，特朗普任期结束后，这架赠送的飞机将被转移到他的总统图书馆。就连参议员兰德·保罗等一些共和党人当时也批评了该协议。
The most public example of gift controversy surrounding the White House involves Qatar. In May of 2025, Trump accepted a $400-million Boeing 747-8 from Qatar. Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer blasted the plane, calling it "the largest bribe from a foreign government in American history." The White House has said that the gifted plane would be transferred to Trump's presidential library when his term ends.
保罗对福克斯新闻说：“我想知道我们判断[卡塔尔]人权记录的能力是否会因这一巨额礼物而蒙上阴影。”
Even some Republicans, like Senator Rand Paul, criticized the deal at that time. "I wonder if our ability to judge [Qatar's] human rights record will be clouded by the fact of this large gift," Paul said to Fox News.
同月，特朗普与卡塔尔签署了价值1.2万亿美元的经济交流协议。特朗普驳斥了对这架赠送飞机的批评，并表示不接受它是“愚蠢的”。请联系《新闻周刊》编辑：卡洛·维尔萨诺和杰弗里·罗兰。
During that same month, Trump signed an economic exchange agreement with Qatar worth $1.2 trillion. Trump dismissed the criticism of the gifted plane and said it would be "stupid" not to accept it. Contact Newsweek editors on this story: Carlo Versano and Geoffrey Rowland.
