Official Quits After Dispute Over Trump’s Eisenhower Sword Gift To King Charles

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on the BBC.

This is the sub-heading.

The director of the Dwight D Eisenhower Presidential Library has stepped down after a dispute with the Trump administration over gifting a sword in its collection to King Charles, according to the BBC’s US partner, CBS News.

These three paragraphs add more detail to the story.

Todd Arrington, the head of the library in Kansas, resigned on Monday after declining to remove an original sword from the library’s collection to give to the King during President Donald Trump’s visit to the United Kingdom last month, CBS reported, citing anonymous sources.

Charles was instead gifted a replica during Trump’s UK visit, Buckingham Palace said at the time.

In an interview with CBS News, Arrington said he was told to “Resign – or be fired”.

Trump had better watch himself, as the United States has armies of lawyers and I’m sure that the unfortunate Mr. Arrington will have some legal offers, he will find great advantage in accepting.
