New documents released on Thursday by the American Office of Government Ethic (OGE) show that American President Donald Trump has been involved this year in several financial operations representing hundreds of millions of dollars. The public files specifically mention transactions related to major American technology and industry groups.
The mentioned companies include Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Uber, Nvidia, and Boeing. For each of these companies, the declared amounts range from 1 to 5 million dollars.
Transactions up to 25 million dollars
The documents also mention several “sales” operations involving Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta. Some of these transactions are valued between 5 and 25 million dollars. The public files, however, do not specify the exact nature of the assets involved, without indicating whether they are stocks, bonds, or other financial instruments.
The Office of Government Ethics, responsible for overseeing the ethical rules of the American executive, states on its website that it aims to “avoid financial conflicts of interest and other ethical rule violations within the approximately 140 offices and agencies of the executive branch.” The documents also note that the assets of the American President are placed in a trust managed by his son Donald Jr., a revocable arrangement that allows the head of state to regain direct control of his assets at any time.
