NEW DELHI: US President Donald Trump’s attempt to be a broker in the conflict between India and Pakistan has the spotlight on a deal the hostile neighbour recently negotiated with World Liberty Financial (WLF), a cryptocurrency venture in which the president’s family has 60% stake.
The deal was signed between WLF and the hastily-launched Pakistan Crypto Council, which early last month appointed as its adviser Changzpeng Zhao (CZ) — founder of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange Binance — with the ambitious objective of making Islamabad South Asia’s crypto capital.
Though the Crypto Council was barely a month old, WLF sent its heavy guns, including Zachary Witkoff, son of Trump’s golf buddy Steve, to Islamabad where they were feted by Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif, and more crucially, army chief General Asim Munir, who just days later “cleared” the mass killing in Pahalgam of tourists who were segregated on the basis of their faith.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
This kind of thing didn’t matter at all to the legacy media when Hunter Biden did it - so the precedent has been set.

Here’s a detailed summary of what is owned or controlled by Donald Trump’s sons (Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr.) and Jared Kushner in connection with World Liberty Financial (WLF), as well as their broader business interests, based on the most recent and reputable reporting:
World Liberty Financial (WLF) – Cryptocurrency Venture
Ownership Structure:
The Trump family, through a holding company called DT Marks DEFI LLC, owns approximately 60% of the equity in WLF Holdco LLC, which is the parent company of World Liberty Financial, Inc. This structure gives them majority control over the crypto venture.
Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Jared Kushner are all named as key stakeholders in this 60% family stake.
Eric Trump serves as a manager on the board of WLF Holdco LLC.
The family collectively owns a significant share of the native $WLFI tokens (about 22.5 billion out of a 100 billion supply).
The Trump family is entitled to 75% of net revenue from token sales and 60% of net revenue from WLF operations once the core business launches, amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars in potential income.
Management and Control:
The Trump family does not appear to be involved in day-to-day operations, with the exception of Eric Trump’s board role.
The original co-founders have been replaced as controlling parties, consolidating Trump family control.
Public Roles:
Donald Trump was named “chief crypto advocate,” Eric and Donald Jr. as “web3 ambassadors,” and Barron Trump as “chief DeFi visionary” in project announcements.
The Cryptocurrencies all smack of hustle and jive.
There is no tangible asset and no army to back it.
It’s all “Trust Me, But At Your Own Risk.”
It was okay when Biden & Son Inc. did it when Beau was dying in the war.
Pelosi, Clinton etc
Well, then, Pradeep, I guess India had better ink a deal with one of Trump’s kin pretty soon to stay in the running.
The ‘right’ objected and was upset, so it still matters to the right or nah?
Reading Indian media is interesting because they got the dirt on Pakistan and the Pakistani media has the dirt on India to dish out as well.
This, if true, is not good or healthy.
My only question is - would Pakistan have made the deal with World Liberty Financial if the Trump family was not part of it? If they would not have made the deal were others in control of World Financial Liberty, then is the international dealings of WLF and Pakistan a form of influence peddling, much as we saw the Clintoons and Biden’s doing?
“Changzpeng Zhao”
Say it out loud.
It’s a sound-effect from Saturday morning cartoons.
