Senator Warren Raises Alarm Over Trump’s Crypto and AI Deals with UAE Emir
Senator Elizabeth Warren has flagged national security concerns following a New York Times investigation into overlapping deals between former President Donald Trump's ventures and a prominent Abu Dhabi politician. The report revealed a $2 billion infusion into Trump's WLFI alongside UAE access to critical AI chips—raising questions about conflicts of interest despite no explicit quid pro quo.
Warren's press release condemns the arrangement as a backchannel for foreign influence, citing Trump family gains of $1.3 billion from crypto schemes. "These deals hand over sensitive technology while enriching the President's circle," she stated, linking crypto markets to geopolitical leverage.
