đ„ $500 MILLION. UAE. TRUMP-LINKED CRYPTO. đ„
President Donald Trump says he had âno ideaâ about a reported $500M Abu Dhabi investment into World Liberty Financial (WLFI) â claiming âmy sons are handling that.â
đ§” Hereâs whatâs shaking markets and politics đ
đč A UAE-backed investment vehicle, reportedly linked to Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed, quietly bought 49% of WLFI just days before Trumpâs second inauguration.
đč The deal was negotiated with Eric Trump.
đč Valuation: $500M.
đč Around $187M allegedly flowed directly into Trump-linked entities.
đïž Official stance:
âą The White House + WLFI say Trump was not involved.
âą Trumpâs assets are in a family trust run by his children.
â ïž Why it matters:
Critics are raising red flags over transparency, foreign capital influence, and conflicts of interest, especially with such a massive Gulf investment landing quietly in a Trump-associated crypto firm.
đ The shocker:
A half-billion-dollar crypto deal tied to Trumpâs circle â undisclosed until now â and the President says he didnât even know it happened.
đŹ One line summary:
â$500M Gulf money enters Trump crypto â President says âno clue.ââ
