US EditionTrump to host investors in his cryptocurrency despite ethical concerns
- President Donald Trump hosted a dinner on May 22, 2024, at his Northern Virginia golf club for about 220 top investors of his $TRUMP meme coin project.
- The event followed a growing embrace of cryptocurrency by Trump and his family, who have developed and profited from various crypto ventures since before his 2021 presidency ended.
- During the dinner, Trump spoke for about half an hour, danced to "YMCA," and praised the industry, which is politically influential and financially beneficial to his relatives.
- Critics, including Senator Richard Blumenthal, called the gathering a way of "auctioning off access" to the White House, while supporter Nic Carter viewed it as a distraction needing common-sense legislation.
- The event underscored ethical concerns over conflicts of interest and transparency, highlighted by protests and a signed investor ranking poster board visible despite no media access.
