PM Modi’s Gift To Jill Biden And The US Ethics Rule Behind It | Policy Decoder

A diamond from India made headlines in Washington, but not quite for the reason you think.

PM Modi gifted Jill Biden a Made-in-India lab-grown diamond valued at $2,500. She reportedly liked it enough to wear it as a ring. But later, the US government valued the gift at $20,000 and ethics rules kicked in.

Under American law, diplomatic gifts above a certain value do not personally belong to officials. They are treated as property of the state.

So when Jill Biden left the White House, the diamond went back too. A gift meant to be worn now sits locked away in a government warehouse.
