Representative Tom Emmer expressed his dedication to working with Donald Trump to oppose what they perceive as an expansion of government surveillance.
United States Representative Tom Emmer agreed with former President Donald Trump’s view of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) as a threat to financial privacy.
Emmer, who is the majority whip of the U.S. House of Representatives, voiced his concerns in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Jan. 19, echoing Trump’s apprehensions about CBDCs and their potential threat to financial privacy.
On Jan. 17, during a campaign speech in New Hampshire, Trump pledged to prevent the U.S. Federal Reserve from introducing a CBDC in the United States if elected president for a second time.
