Trump ethics filing reveals thousands of trades tied to U.S. stocks

Key Points:

• President Donald Trump disclosed at least $220 million in financial transactions during the first quarter of 2026, according to new ethics filings released by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics.
• The transactions involved securities from major companies like Microsoft, Meta, Oracle, Broadcom, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, as well as municipal bonds, with cumulative values ranging from $220 million to $750 million.
• Large purchases included S&P 500 Index funds, Nvidia, and Apple, while significant sales involved Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta, with transaction values reported in broad ranges rather than exact amounts.
• The filings do not specify the accounts or individuals who placed the trades, though the assets are held in a trust controlled by Trump’s children, and some trades indicate broker involvement.
• These disclosures are part of ongoing federal ethics requirements and offer a limited view of Trump’s financial activities, with a more comprehensive annual financial disclosure expected later this year.
