Donald Trump Promises to Block U.S. CBDC if Reelected

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has vowed to prevent the creation of a U.S. central bank digital currency (CBDC) if he is reelected, citing concerns about government control over people's money. Trump expressed his opposition to CBDCs during a campaign speech in New Hampshire, calling them a "dangerous threat to freedom." This stance is part of Trump's shift towards embracing cryptocurrencies and appealing to the pro-crypto constituency.
