U.S. Senators Seek National Security Probe of $500M UAE Investment in Trump-Linked Crypto Firm
On 15 February 2026, U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren and Andy Kim called for a national security review of a $500 million UAE-backed investment in World Liberty Financial, a crypto platform reportedly connected to Donald Trump's family. The lawmakers highlighted that a UAE-linked firm allegedly obtained a 49% stake in January 2025 and that around $187 million flowed to entities tied to the Trump family. They asked whether CFIUS had reviewed the deal amid concerns over foreign access to sensitive user data and potential political influence.
