Trump says he cannot ask sons to halt crypto business for four years

President Donald Trump pushed back against conflict-of-interest allegations surrounding his and his family’s cryptocurrency business in an interview with CBS program '60 Minutes,' The Block reported. Trump said one of his sons is a co-owner of World Liberty Financial (WLFI), but he is not closely familiar with how it operates because his sons run the family business and he is not involved. He added he does not discuss cryptocurrency with his sons, has accumulated substantial assets before entering the White House, and that every president faces conflict-of-interest issues. Trump also said past presidents held major assets such as oil, while crypto is a modern business asset, and he cannot ask his sons to stop doing business for four years simply because he is president.
