During the interview with FOX Business’ Maria Bartiromo, the Republican candidate for the 2024 Presidential Election, Donald Trump, was asked and allowed to speak about the future of the United States regarding digital assets. Trump noted that he had strong intentions to make America the leader in the cryptocurrency markets.
Notably, when talking about the success of other nations, such as China, Trump underscored the necessity for the U. S. to surpass them in terms of digital asset increase. He also stressed that, in his opinion, it will be critical for the U. S. to step up its engagement and actively support the crypto industry to avoid becoming a follower rather than a leader. This contempt follows Trump’s self-appointment as the world’s ‘Bitcoin King’ and his attacks against President Joe Biden, who is not eligible to participate in the upcoming elections. Trump said, “Biden cannot shut it [crypto] down because there is no way this guy [Biden] will tell you to shut something down like that – without knowing anything about it [crypto].”

Trump also focused on the possible size of the crypto market and its presence, which reflects some companies and countries. As such, he posited that the world is at an opportune moment for the U. S. to take the bull by the horns and fully engage in the future of digital assets. Trump continues stating that if the U. S. does not stand for the policies seriously, others will inevitably step forward to do so.

Ambitious Plans to Tackle National Debt
Regarding the $35 trillion national debt, Trump unveiled strategies for utilizing cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, for economic enhancement. He said that while attempting to balance the national debt before the pandemic, his efforts were interrupted by the virus. However, he reassures them he still has what it takes to solve this problem through unique initiatives such as digital assets.
Trump proposed paying creditors in Bitcoin as part of his debt-reduction approach, emphasizing Bitcoin’s potential as a store of wealth. He believes accepting cryptocurrency will boost the US economy and aid his ambitious ambitions.
In conclusion, Trump reiterated his commitment to making the United States the leader in the digital asset sector. He emphasized that adopting cryptocurrency is critical to the country’s economic future. Failure to do so, he said, would allow other countries to dominate the crypto area while leaving the United States behind.
