Trump-Backed Crypto Firm Ties Up with Restricted China AI Partner
World Liberty Financial, a crypto business backed by President Donald Trump, is collaborating with a Hong Kong-based venture that offers artificial intelligence models from Chinese companies flagged for national security concerns by the US administration.
The partnership has raised questions about potential risks to US security and whether World Liberty Financial is complying with regulations regarding dealings with restricted Chinese entities.
According to reports, the Hong Kong AI platform offers AI models from Chinese firms that have been restricted by the US government due to national security concerns.
This news comes as a surprise given the previous scrutiny of Trump-backed companies and their ties to China.
