President Donald Trump dodged a question about his willingness to divest from his personal crypto ventures Friday, maintaining that he was interested in crypto before deciding to run again for president—and arguing that he built a crypto industry in America that China would have seized upon if not for his leadership.

Trump asserted that without him, the American crypto industry as a whole would not currently be flourishing.

“I don’t care about… I have my kids, and they invest in different things. They do believe in it,” Trump said. “But I’m president, and what I did do there is build an industry that’s very important. And you know, if we didn’t have it, China would.”
