U.S. President Donald Trump stated he was unaware of the $500 million acquisition of WLFI shares by UAE National Security Advisor Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, indicating that such matters are handled by his son and family members. According to Foresight News, this statement follows a report by The Wall Street Journal, which highlighted U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren's call for a congressional hearing on the transaction. The deal, signed by Eric Trump, involved $187 million flowing directly to Trump family entities, with at least $31 million going to entities linked to Trump ally Steve Witkoff.
