Senators urge CFIUS review of UAE stake in World Liberty Financial

U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren and Andy Kim have asked Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to determine whether the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States) should review a reported 49% UAE-linked stake in crypto project World Liberty Financial, setting a March 5 deadline for a response.

The request follows a separate House probe launched last week by Representative Ro Khanna, expanding congressional scrutiny around the Trump family–linked venture and its reported ties to the United Arab Emirates.

Lawmakers said the transaction may raise national security concerns, citing foreign ownership risk and potential access to sensitive user data, and asked whether CFIUS has already reviewed the deal or made any recommendation.
