This resolution expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that President Donald Trump , Special Envoy Steven Witkoff , and all Federal officials must comply with the Foreign Emoluments Clause of the Constitution. This constitutional provision, found in Article I, Section 9, prohibits federal officeholders from accepting gifts or emoluments from foreign states without congressional consent. Its purpose is to ensure undivided allegiance to the American people and prevent foreign influence on government officials. The resolution alleges that President Trump and Special Envoy Witkoff, through their involvement with World Liberty Financial, received substantial payments from the United Arab Emirates, specifically from entities linked to Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan . A secret deal reportedly involved the sale of a significant stake in World Liberty Financial to a UAE-backed investment firm for $500 million, with payments extending into President Trump's term. These alleged payments are deemed forbidden emoluments, especially given the timing and the administration's subsequent actions to advance the UAE's access to advanced American semiconductor chips. The resolution highlights a $500 billion artificial intelligence-focused data center venture and commitments to provide millions of semiconductor chips to the United Arab Emirates, with some going to entities controlled by Sheikh Tahnoon. These actions are seen as directly linked to President Trump's personal business dealings, creating an egregious conflict of interest and national security risks. Consequently, the House calls for immediate divestment from all business interests tied to foreign governments and the turnover of all foreign payments to the Treasury by President Trump, Special Envoy Witkoff, and all Federal officials.
