The director of the Eisenhower Presidential Library in Kansas has resigned following a contentious dispute with the Trump administration over a historic sword intended as a gift for King Charles. The library declined a request from the White House to provide the sword, asserting that it belongs to the U.S. government and cannot be gifted. This decision prompted a clash that ultimately led to the official’s resignation. The library head, who has expressed devastation over his ousting, has since requested reinstatement. This incident highlights ongoing tensions between museum officials and the former administration regarding the management of historical artifacts.
