Trump Family's Global Business Deals Blur Lines Between Policy and Profit

The Trump administration's blending of politics, global business, and cryptocurrency ventures has sparked new questions about presidential profits.

Historically, U.S. presidents have taken steps to distance themselves from business interests to avoid conflicts of interest. However, under Donald Trump, a new model is taking shape, with the rapid expansion of family-linked businesses, particularly abroad in emerging sectors like crypto.

The White House maintains that Trump operates within ethical guidelines, emphasizing that his assets are managed in a family trust and that he has no direct involvement in business decisions. However, critics argue that the scale and scope of these activities are unprecedented.
