U.S. President Joe Biden gifted Russian President Vladimir Putin a pair of custom aviator sunglasses made by Randolph USA during their summit on Wednesday, according to a White House official.
The sunglasses are made by an American company that has provided them to the U.S. military and its NATO partners.
Biden also gifted the Russian President a crystal sculpture of an American bison -- the national mammal of the U.S. -- made by Steuben Glass of New York, according to the official.
The gift of aviators with ties to NATO is symbolic and comes on the heels of a summit of the defense alliance in Brussels that Biden attended. During that summit, Biden reaffirmed the U.S.' commitment to the military alliance and urged western allies to better align themselves against Russia and China.
The company, Randolph USA, manufactures its aviators in Massachusetts, the official said. In 1978, the company joined forces with the U.S. military to produce the HGU-4/P Aviator, which was designed for fighter pilots, according to the official.
The crystal sculpture of the American bison represents strength, unity and resilience, the official said. The American bison has been the national mammal of the U.S. since 2016, when President Barack Obama signed the National Bison Legacy Act into law.
According to the official, the sculpture had a cherry wood base in order to symbolize former U.S. President George Washington, as well as a custom engraved inscription plaque to commemorate the meeting between the two leaders.
After their summit in Geneva, Biden said during a news conference that he focused on human rights and obtaining a stable relationship with Russia during their high-stakes talks. Biden emphasized his focus on human rights during the meeting.
