• Eric Trump confirmed plans for a Trump-branded luxury resort in Oman, to be built on government-owned land, further intertwining business and diplomacy.
• World Liberty Financial, a Trump family crypto venture, is facilitating a $2 billion Binance transaction backed by Abu Dhabi's government-owned MGX fund.
