Overview
- In a Nikkei Asia interview, Eric Trump said he is “not ruling it out,” declining to commit to or reject a future presidential run.
- The stance updates July remarks to the BBC in which he said he “very much” doubted a 2028 bid, after telling the Financial Times he believes he could perform effectively in politics.
- As executive vice president of the Trump Organization and CEO of World Liberty Financial, he has been promoting cryptocurrency ventures across the Asia-Pacific.
- He highlighted demand for dollar-backed stablecoins and outlined plans to expand his company’s digital-asset footprint in the region.
- His increased visibility has renewed discussion of a possible Trump family successor as Republicans size up the 2028 field, with names such as JD Vance, Marco Rubio and Glenn Youngkin frequently mentioned and the 22nd Amendment barring a third presidential election for Donald Trump.
