Trump crypto firm backs venture offering AI from restricted Chinese companies
WorldClaw, founded earlier this year, offers customers access to a suite of AI models and accepts World Liberty's crypto tokens as payment. The Trump family, through its ownership stake, earns revenue from the use of World Liberty's tokens.
President Donald Trump-backed World Liberty Financial has teamed up with Hong Kong-based venture WorldClaw, which offers access to AI models developed by Chinese companies, some of which are flagged for national security concerns by the U.S. administration. WorldClaw, founded earlier this year, accepts World Liberty's crypto tokens for payment, through which the Trump family earns revenue.
A review found that nearly half of the 90 models on WorldClaw's website were developed by Chinese tech companies, such as Alibaba and Baidu, which the U.S. government has designated as posing risks to national security and intellectual property. Despite the collaboration, there are no known conflicts of interest, and both companies maintain that WorldClaw is an independent entity.
