Former United States President Donald Trump has vowed to end President Joe Biden’s “war on crypto” if he is re-elected. Speaking at a special address in West Palm Beach, Florida, on June 14, Trump emphasized his commitment to fostering the growth of cryptocurrency in the U.S., particularly in Florida.
“I will end Joe Biden’s war on crypto, and we will ensure that the future of crypto and the future of Bitcoin will be made in America; we’re going to keep it right here, and a lot of it is going to be done right here in Florida,” Trump said during the event, which coincided with his 78th birthday.
This is not the first time Trump has criticized Biden’s stance on cryptocurrency. On May 26, he condemned Biden’s approach, insisting that the U.S. should aim for a leadership position in the global crypto industry. In a May 25 post on Truth Social, a social media platform owned by Trump Media and Technology Group, he wrote, “Crooked Joe Biden, on the other hand, the worst president in the history of our country, wants it to die a slow and painful death. That will never happen with me.”
Trump’s statements reflect a broader push to position the U.S. as a hub for cryptocurrency innovation and development, contrasting with the current administration’s more stringent regulatory approach.
