华盛顿，2月13日（路透社）- 美国参议院银行委员会的两名民主党成员周五要求财政部长斯科特·贝森特调查阿联酋国家安全顾问据称以5亿美元收购特朗普家族加密货币企业股份可能带来的国家安全影响。
参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦和安迪·金要求领导美国外国投资委员会（CFIUS）的贝森特确定，阿联酋对World Liberty Financial持有49%的股份是否需要进行CFIUS审查，并要求进行全面、彻底和公正的调查。

路透社看到的一封信中，他们要求贝森特在3月5日前就该交易的几个问题作出回应，包括CFIUS是否以任何形式审查了该交易，或是否就该交易向共和党总统唐纳德·特朗普提出了任何建议。
财政部未立即对这封信置评。
参议员们在信中表示：”这笔交易引发了重大的国家安全担忧。”
沃伦和其他民主党参议员多次对World Liberty Financial提出质疑，该公司是在特朗普2024年11月总统大选获胜前两个月成立的，他们还质疑该公司存在潜在的利益冲突。该公司由商人史蒂夫·维特科夫宣布成立，维特科夫现在是特朗普的关键特使。
特朗普的助手表示，他已移交了其商业企业的控制权，这些企业正在接受外部道德律师的审查。
CFIUS是财政部领导的一个跨部门委员会，负责审查外国投资是否存在国家安全风险，成员包括国防部、国务院、商务部、国土安全部和司法部的高级官员。
沃伦和金表示，CFIUS有”明确的授权来处理外国投资带来的潜在国家安全风险，包括可能让中国或阿联酋等外国政府获取关键技术或美国公民敏感个人数据的交易”。
他们在信中写道，据报道的这笔交易引发了关于阿联酋或中国是否可能获取World Liberty Financial声称收集的任何”敏感个人信息”的疑问。
《华尔街日报》上月报道称，由谢赫塔诺恩·本·扎耶德·阿勒纳哈扬（Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan）支持的G42公司在特朗普2025年1月开始第二任期前几天收购了World Liberty Financial的股份。数月后，特朗普政府批准向阿联酋出售先进的人工智能芯片。
World Liberty是稳定币USD1的发行方，该稳定币与美元挂钩，由短期美国政府国债、美元存款和其他现金等价物支持。
该公司将总统特朗普和维特科夫列为名誉联合创始人，并由特朗普和维特科夫家族成员管理。
沃伦和金指出，美国情报机构长期以来一直警告称，G42可能已提供技术协助中国军方。

Senate Democrats seek CFIUS probe of reported UAE stake in Trump family’s crypto company
February 13, 2026 11:05 PM UTC / Reuters / By Andrea Shalal
WASHINGTON, Feb 13 (Reuters) – Two Democratic members of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee on Friday asked Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to examine the potential national security implications of a reported purchase of a $500 million stake in the Trump family’s cryptocurrency venture by the United Arab Emirates’ national security adviser.
Senators Elizabeth Warren and Andy Kim asked Bessent, who heads the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, to determine whether a CFIUS review is required of the 49% UAE stake in World Liberty Financial and, if so, to conduct a comprehensive, thorough and unbiased investigation.

In a letter viewed by Reuters, they asked Bessent to respond to several questions about the transaction by March 5, including whether CFIUS had reviewed the deal in any form, or submitted any recommendations to Republican President Donald Trump about it.
The Treasury had no immediate comment on the letter.
“The transaction raises significant national security concerns,” the senators said in the letter.
Warren and other Democratic senators have repeatedly raised questions about World Liberty Financial, which was founded two months before Trump’s November 2024 victory in the U.S. presidential election, and potential conflicts of interest. The firm was announced by businessman Steve Witkoff, who is now a key Trump envoy.
Trump’s aides have said he has handed over control of his business ventures, which are being reviewed by outside ethics lawyers.
CFIUS is a Treasury-led interagency committee that vets foreign investments for national security risks, including top officials from the Defense, State, Commerce, Homeland Security and Justice departments.
Warren and Kim said CFIUS had a “clear mandate to address potential national security risks from foreign investments, including transactions that could allow foreign governments like China or the UAE to access critical technology or the sensitive personal data of U.S. citizens.”
They said the reported deal raised questions about whether the UAE or China might be able to access any of the “sensitive personal information” that World Liberty Financial says it collects, they wrote.
The Wall Street Journal last month reported that G42, a company backed by Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who manages the UAE’s largest wealth fund and is a member of the Gulf nation’s royal family, bought the stake in World Liberty Financial days before Trump began his second term in January 2025. Months later, the Trump administration approved the sale of advanced AI chips to the UAE.
World Liberty is behind the stablecoin USD1, which is pegged to the U.S. dollar and backed by short-term U.S. government Treasuries, U.S. dollar deposits, and other cash equivalents.
The company counts President Trump and Witkoff as co-founders emeritus, and is run by members of the Trump and Witkoff families.
Warren and Kim noted that U.S. intelligence had long warned that G42 may have provided technology to assist China’s military.
