Recent reports detailing a significant stake acquisition in the Trump-linked World Liberty Financial (WLFI) by an Abu Dhabi royal have quickly gained traction, prompting an unusual and direct public denial from U.S. President Donald Trump himself.
President Trump's Explicit Denial
Addressing reporters, President Trump unequivocally denied any knowledge of the reported multimillion-dollar agreement. His statement, "I don’t know about it," aimed to create a clear distance between himself and the alleged deal, which claimed a 49% buyout of WLFI and gained significant media attention.
Family's Independent Handling of Investments
Trump further clarified that the matter was being managed independently by his family. He stated, "My sons are handling that… my family is handling it," suggesting that any external capital linked to the WLFI platform would fall outside his direct involvement. This assertion underscores his stance that any investments secured by the platform would be separate from his presidential capacity, emphasizing a clean division from his personal finances and public office.
