The Chinese Embassy in Bangladesh has warned its citizens not to get involved in illegal cross-border marriages or fall for online matchmaking scams. According to a report by Global Times, a Chinese state-run media outlet, the embassy advised Chinese nationals to stay away from deceptive content about 'cross-border dating' often seen on short video platforms. It also warned against using matchmaking agencies or informal networks to seek 'foreign wives' in Bangladesh, calling such actions illegal under Chinese law.

Infractions may result in fines or a maximum jail sentence of six months. President Trump praised guests and criticized the Biden administration's position on cryptocurrency. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt responded that the president's involvement was personal when questioned about possible conflicts of interest. She informed reporters that it was not a White House dinner as it ain't happening at the White House. Donald Trump has previously displayed the presidential seal on his private properties. Its use as golf markers at a number of Trump-owned clubs has already been documented by Forbes. Is foreign influence a real concern here? In a letter to the Justice Department dated May 22, 35 members of the House requested that Edward Sullivan, the acting head of the public integrity section, begin an investigation into the memecoin dinner to see if it violated the US Constitution's foreign emoluments clause or the federal bribery statute. A US president cannot accept a gift from a foreign nation without Congress's consent, according to the emoluments clause. According to Bloomberg, the majority of people who attended the memecoin dinner were probably foreigners because of their ties to cryptocurrency exchanges. The letter stated that foreigners are not allowed to donate to US political campaigns due to US law. But the $TRUMP memecoin, which advertises a dinner with special access to the president, makes it possible for foreign governments to purchase influence with the president without revealing who they are, as per a report by Coin Telegraph. FAQs Why is Donald Trump in trouble for the memecoin dinner? He used the official presidential seal at a private investor event, potentially violating federal law and raising ethical concerns. Who attended the dinner? Foreign crypto investors, Tron founder Justin Sun, and former NBA star Lamar Odom were among those in attendance.
