ZURICH, ‌June 4 (Reuters) - ​Donald ​Trump Jr., the eldest son of the U.S. president and a ‌senior executive of the Trump family ⁠business, extolled the virtues of cryptocurrencies and expressed ‌views on the conflict ‌in Iran at a forum in Zurich on Thursday.

Trump Jr., whose family has expanded ​from real estate to cryptocurrencies in recent years, pushed for the uptake ⁠of blockchain and AI, describing their melding as a "game changer".

The ​son of President Donald Trump also weighed in on the conflict between ​the United States and ‌Iran, saying he believed his father would secure a deal with ⁠Tehran.

"I think it will get done. How that happens, I'm not involved," said Trump Jr..

The ⁠gathering, attended by about 75 guests and a ​Reuters journalist, was arranged by Davos Lodge, which organised a similar closed-door event earlier this year during ‌the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, where another of Donald ‌Trump's sons, Eric Trump, was seen ⁠speaking with Somaliland ‌president Abdirahman Mohamed ​Abdullahi.
