Trump: Former presidents also held assets such as oil, and cryptocurrency is similar to traditional assets

According to The Block, when asked about the allegations of conflicts of interest involving himself and his family's businesses, including cryptocurrency operations, U.S. President Trump stated, "Every president has their own issues."

When pointed out that no previous U.S. president has owned a cryptocurrency company, Trump responded that past presidents also held significant assets like oil and believed that cryptocurrency is essentially similar to traditional business assets. He also stated that just because he is president, he cannot require his sons to stop running their businesses during his four-year term.
