17 August, Fineko/abc.az. Donald Trump-backed World Liberty Financial is collaborating with Hong Kong-based AI platform WorldClaw, which accepts the firm’s crypto tokens as payment.

A Reuters review revealed that out of 90 AI models offered by WorldClaw, 43 were developed by Chinese tech firms—including Alibaba, Baidu, and Z.ai—flagged by the US administration for national security concerns.

The Trump family holds a 38% stake in World Liberty, generating revenue when users pay via its USD1 stablecoin. While the partnership does not violate US laws, ethics and tech experts point to a potential contradiction with Washington’s policy toward Chinese technology. The White House maintained there is no conflict of interest.
