President-elect Donald's Trump relationship with Russia has been under scrutiny even since he started contesting the much-followed US election. His soft moves concerning Russia over the past few weeks have also been widely studied internationally.
To add to it, metal workers at the Art-Grani weapons foundry have now minted a 1 kg silver coin to honour the American President-elect. Unveiled to commemorate him as he takes over as the US President, the coin features a head-and-shoulder image of Trump against the backdrop of the American flag with the inscription 'Donald John Trump, the 45th President of the United States of America.' On the reverse side, it has the Statue of Liberty and reads 'In Trump We Trust' and 'The United States of Amerika'.
Only 45 coins of this limited edition have been minted reportedly - 25 silver coins, 15 silver and gold coins and five gold coins. These limited coins are sold for a premium price of $10,000.
"The inauguration of Donald Trump will be a special event in the history of the world; that's why we have done a collection," sales manager Kristina Glinina was quoted by CNN.
Donald's relationship with Russia
After today's inauguration day, the media's attention will be fixed on his stand on Russia. While on one hand, he has promised the voters to better the relations with Russia, he has to tread carefully owing to the hacking scandal.
Donald Trump had recently suggested that sanctions against Russia may be dropped off if Moscow is 'helpful'. This is in contrary to the stand the Obama administration took late last year when they imposed sanctions against Russia in response to alleged cyber attacks. These sanctions included the ejection of 35 suspected Russian spies from the US.
