Commerce Dept Greenlights UAE Exports Tied to Trump Family Stablecoin
The Trump admin eases export controls for MGX, a UAE firm linked to a Trump family stablecoin used in a $2B Binance deal. Sen. Warren calls it corrupt.

Now the same administration is smoothing its path through U.S. export controls.
