Trump-Backed Crypto Firm Partners with AI Venture Using Chinese and U.S. Models
President Donald Trump-backed World Liberty Financial is partnering with Hong Kong-based WorldClaw, which offers AI models from Chinese companies flagged by the U.S. for national security risks, alongside U.S. firms like OpenAI. Nearly half of WorldClaw's AI models come from Chinese firms such as Alibaba and Baidu. While the collaboration is legal, experts note it contrasts with the Trump administration's stance on Chinese technology. Separately, a U.S. regulator conditionally approved a bank charter for World Liberty to expand its crypto operations.
