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

According to reports on the 22nd (local time), Trump strongly reacted by calling Sun's lawsuit "absurd." In particular, he criticized Sun by mentioning the 'banana artwork' that Sun had purchased for a large sum in the past, stating, "It makes even 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 an "unsubstantiated attempt." He further stated that the lawsuit would be dismissed.

The clash between the two sides is drawing more attention as it contrasts with their past relationship. Eric Trump was reportedly positive about Sun and had shown a friendly attitude until now.

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