Former President Donald Trump stated that he knows nothing about foreign investment in his cryptocurrency business

According to The Block, U.S. President Trump was questioned during an interview with 60 Minutes about foreign investments and potential conflicts of interest related to his jointly held cryptocurrency company, World Liberty Financial. He stated that he was unaware of this and claimed that the company is run by his sons.

When asked why he could not sell his shares while allowing his sons to continue running the company, Trump retorted about how to withdraw cash and stated that most of his wealth is held in large Wall Street institutions and invested in index funds. The report cited previous news from The Wall Street Journal that an investment vehicle supported by UAE National Security Advisor Sheikh Tahnoon had acquired a 49% stake in World Liberty Financial for $500 million before Trump's inauguration.
