In reference to the Winston Churchill bust, the Smithsonian recorded information in regard to a Churchill statue that is situated, currently, at the edifice of the British Embassy. The statue is that of a full length Churchill standing with a cane whike flashing a peace sign with the right hand uplifted.
In the last 5 decades, the Churchill bust , in the United States, has symbolized the unity between the two nations. It was Churchill who held dual citizenship in Great Britain and the United States . In this era, it seems, the White Hoyse finds that the former purpose for the bust that was once seated in the Oval Office, currently lacks significance not to mention the US mantra, " In God We Trust"-- the same God creed that states that any graven image represents the dishonor of God, the almighty.
The era of peace and tge olive veanch being extended between the US and Germany tend to evade the stand taken by the U.S. in support of Germany as a U.S. ally. Churchill however stood on right principles; opposing Nazi Germany, since that era, however, the collective national approval and unity tend to clash with the Churchill theme-- "We are fighting to save the whole world from the pestilence of Nazi tyranny and in defense of all that is most sacred to man."
Churchill's point has been well received, then. Tge world, today, has distanced itself from the long ago upheld Nazi autocracy and racial extremism, their fight against Jews. and the tge erecting of tge Berlin Wall that divided East from West Germany. The alliance the US has found that exists with Germany has grown in value snd in trust.
Today, Germany and the United States are much different places, nations that open its arms to peace and democracy.
The record state that it was during the opening hours of the Obsma administration that the Churchill bust had first been removed from the Oval Office. Following the Obama administration, the bust had, apparently been replaced. Now, after its removal from the Biden administration's Oval Office, the Winston Churchill bust will, perhaps, find its home in the Amal's of history in some welcoming place in Great Britain.
