US President Donald Trump has defended earning approximately $1.2 billion from his family's cryptocurrency activities, stating that "everybody's profiting" from his time in power. He also rejected the notion that he is using his presidential position to enrich himself.

These remarks were made as Trump prepared for his first flight on a new Air Force One plane, which was gifted by Qatar. FRANCE 24's Angela Diffley provided insights into how Trump generated this income last year.

The comments come amid criticism regarding potential conflicts of interest related to his cryptocurrency earnings.
