Financial ties under scrutiny

Roginsky noted that World Liberty Financial is the lead investor in a $750 million slice of Alt5's $1.5 billion share offering, raising concerns about a collision of public power and private interest. She warned the matter touches on foreign influence and money sources that critics say have not received enough attention.

Response and public reaction

A Trump spokesperson said Eric attended "in a personal capacity," would not join private meetings and would merely stand alongside the president. Eric and his wife Lara shared travel posts — including an "Alaska" refuel selfie — while social media users questioned his role and whether presidents should travel with family members. Observers also noted other high-profile guests on the trip, including tech and finance leaders.
