Trump's Tweets Shake Markets as His Posts Trigger Conflict of Interest Investment Crisis
The Israeli newspaper "Israel Today" revealed that President Donald Trump's tweets and social media interactions, especially on the platform "Truth Social," raise concerns about potential conflicts of interest between his investment moves and his political statements. Investigations have indicated that Trump posted positive remarks about certain companies shortly after purchasing shares in them, which could directly influence the market due to his posts' ability to sway stock and currency prices. Trump's media company is planning to launch a service that will allow investors to access his posts several milliseconds before they are publicly released, potentially giving them a significant advantage in electronic trading. It is worth noting that Trump made positive comments about 21 companies after buying shares in them, such as Nvidia, Tesla, and U.S. Steel. Meanwhile, the White House denies any conflict of interest, affirming that his investments are managed through external accounts beyond his control. Nonetheless, experts and investigators are raising ethical concerns regarding the impact of the president's statements on markets and the possible conflicts of interest, particularly in light of strict investment rules for government officials.
