Trump crypto firm backs venture offering AI from restricted Chinese companies

Audio By Carbonatix

By Lawrence Delevingne

BOSTON, Aug 17 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump-backed World Liberty Financial is collaborating with a Hong Kong-based venture offering artificial-intelligence models developed by Chinese companies the U.S. administration has flagged for national security concerns.

WorldClaw, founded earlier this year, offers customers access to a suite of AI models and accepts World Liberty’s crypto tokens as payment. The Trump family, through its ownership stake, earns revenue from the use of World Liberty’s tokens.

A Reuters review found that 43 of the 90 models available through WorldClaw’s website, or nearly half, were developed by Alibaba, Baidu, Z.ai and other Chinese technology companies the Trump administration says pose risks to national security and intellectual property. WorldClaw also offers access to dozens of models from U.S. firms such as OpenAI and Anthropic.

There’s nothing illegal about World Liberty’s collaboration with WorldClaw or with WorldClaw’s relationships with the Chinese companies. And such Chinese models, which are typically less expensive, are gaining traction globally, including among U.S. tech companies.
