In return, Trump gifted the king a custom facsimile of an 1785 letter from John Adams to John Jay, recounting Adams’ meeting with King George III as the first U.S. ambassador to Great Britain following American independence.

The king presented Trump with a framed facsimile of the 1879 design plans for the Resolute Desk, the historic Oval Office desk originally crafted from the timbers of the British ship HMS Resolute and gifted to President Rutherford B. Hayes by Queen Victoria.

HMS Resolute (1850) was a British Royal Navy arctic exploration vessel, abandoned in ice in 1854 during the search for Sir John Franklin. Salvaged by an American whaler in 1855, the ship was restored by the U.S. and returned to Queen Victoria in 1856 as a gesture of peace. Its timbers were later used to build the Resolute Desk, a staple in the Oval Office.
