Eric Trump, Donald Trump's second son, has publicly criticized cryptocurrency entrepreneur Justin Sun. He made strong remarks regarding Sun's lawsuit against World Liberty Financial, even bringing up past controversies.

According to reports on the 22nd (local time), Trump strongly reacted, calling Sun's lawsuit "absurd." In particular, he referenced Sun's past purchase of an expensive 'banana artwork', criticizing it by saying, "It makes less sense than spending $6 million on a banana taped to a wall."

This conflict was sparked by Sun's legal action against World Liberty Financial. Sun claims that the project froze his tokens and stripped him of governance rights through a private blacklist.

In response, Zach Witkoff, co-founder of World Liberty Financial, denied Sun's claims, calling them "baseless attempts." He further stated that the lawsuit would be dismissed.

The clash between the two sides is drawing more attention, especially contrasting with their past relationship. Eric Trump was previously reported to have viewed Sun positively and shown a friendly attitude.

Meanwhile, the 'banana artwork' mentioned by Trump is an installation art piece called 'Comedian' by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan, which consists of a banana taped to a wall. Justin Sun garnered attention after purchasing the piece for approximately $6.2 million and then performing by eating it.
