Trump-linked World Liberty is tied to an AI platform offering Chinese models flagged by the US over security concerns

A cryptocurrency company tied to US President Donald Trump is collaborating with a Hong Kong-based artificial intelligence venture that offers models developed by Chinese technology firms the Trump administration has flagged over national-security concerns, according to a Reuters investigation.

World Liberty Financial, in which the Trump family holds a 38 per cent stake, is working with WorldClaw, an AI platform founded earlier this year. WorldClaw allows users to access a range of AI models and accepts World Liberty’s crypto tokens, including its USD1 stablecoin, as payment.

A Reuters review found that 43 of the 90 AI models available through WorldClaw were developed by Chinese companies including Alibaba, Baidu and Z.ai. The platform also offers models from US companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic.

The arrangement is not illegal. However, it raises questions because some of the Chinese firms whose models are available through the platform have faced restrictions or scrutiny from the US government over national-security and intellectual-property concerns.

The US government has taken an increasingly hard line on Chinese technology companies in strategic sectors such as artificial intelligence.
