U.S. President Donald Trump Says Past Presidents Held Oil Assets, Crypto Resembles Traditional Businesses
U.S. President Donald Trump said past presidents held important assets, including oil, and argued that cryptocurrency is similar to traditional business assets. According to Odaily, Trump made the remarks in an interview after being asked about conflict-of-interest allegations involving him and his family businesses, including their cryptocurrency operations. When told that no previous U.S. president had owned a cryptocurrency company, Trump said every president has their own issues. He also said his sons should not be expected to stop running their businesses during his four-year term simply because he is president.
