🇦🇪 ABU DHABI ROYAL MADE SECRET DEAL IN TRUMP’S WORLD LIBERTYFI FOR ACCESS TO AI CHIPS
Four days before Trump’s inauguration last year, lieutenants to an Abu Dhabi royal quietly signed a deal with the Trump family to purchase a 49% stake in their World LibertyFi crypto venture for $500 million.
The buyers agreed to pay half up front, steering roughly $187 million to Trump family entities.
The previously unreported deal with World Liberty Financial was signed by Eric Trump.
Documents also show that at least $31 million was slated to flow to entities affiliated with the family of Steve Witkoff, a World Liberty co founder who weeks earlier had been named U.S. envoy to the Middle East.
The investment was backed by Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, an Abu Dhabi royal who has been pressing the US for access to tightly guarded AI chips.
Tahnoon, brother to the president of the United Arab Emirates and the country’s national security adviser, oversees a more than $1.3 trillion empire funded by personal and state capital spanning oil, AI, surveillance, and infrastructure, making him one of the most powerful single investors in the world.
