Trump crypto firm backs venture offering AI from restricted Chinese companies
WorldClaw says more than 10,000 users can pay with World Liberty’s USD1 stablecoin to access AI models from Chinese firms flagged by U.S. officials.
- On Monday, Reuters reported that World Liberty Financial, a firm backed by President Donald Trump, is collaborating with Hong Kong-based WorldClaw to provide access to Chinese artificial intelligence models flagged by Washington for security risks.
- WorldClaw offers access to 90 AI models, nearly half developed by Chinese technology firms like Alibaba, Baidu, and Z.ai that the U.S. administration identifies as national security threats.
- The Trump family holds a 38% ownership stake in World Liberty, which profits when customers pay for WorldClaw services using USD1 stablecoin, creating potential financial ties to the Chinese AI models.
- White House spokesperson Anna Kelly stated "there are no conflicts of interest" regarding the collaboration, while World Liberty representatives argued the firm operates independently from WorldClaw.
- Experts warn this arrangement creates friction with the administration's stance on Chinese technology, as the Trump family's business benefits from the same technology the U.S. government is attempting to restrict for national security reasons.
