BOSTON — President Donald Trump-backed World Liberty Financial is collaborating with a Hong Kong-based venture offering artificial-intelligence models developed by Chinese companies the US 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 US 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 US tech companies.

Still, seven experts on Chinese technology, trade and government ethics said the business collaboration — and the potential profits for President Trump through World Liberty — runs counter to his administration's stance towards Chinese tech companies.
