Divestment, Says If US Didn't Have Bitcoin 'China Would'
President Trump deflected when asked whether he would consider divesting from personal crypto interests to help get legislation passed.

President Donald Trump dodged a question about his willingness to divest from his personal crypto ventures Friday, maintaining that he was interested in crypto before deciding to run again for president—and arguing that he built a crypto industry in America that China would have seized upon if not for his leadership.

In recent weeks, Democrats have threatened to withdraw support for key crypto market structure legislation, arguing that the president’s numerous and lucrative digital assets ventures are a deal-breaker and an unacceptable conflict of interest.
