Trump’s Big Tech Investments Raise New Questions
Follow spoken words in real time.
US President Donald Trump shared information about hundreds of millions of dollars in buying and selling shares in big technology and artificial intelligence companies. Official documents showed that in July, more than 1,000 share transactions took place in his investment account. These deals were made in companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia, Oracle, Salesforce, and SpaceX.
These transactions happened because Trump’s investments are managed by outside financial companies, not by Trump himself. The White House said neither Trump nor his family can decide which shares to buy or sell. These companies use computer programs to follow the market and choose the shares.
The result of these actions is that some people are now asking if Trump could have a conflict of interest. As president, Trump helps make important decisions about technology and business rules, which could affect the value of these companies. The main question is whether a president should earn money from companies that might be influenced by his own government’s decisions.
