Trump Trust Acquires Millions in Meta Shares and SpaceX Bonds in August
In August, the trust managing US President Donald Trump's assets, overseen by his son Donald Jr., conducted 517 trades, including purchases of Meta shares valued between $5 million and $25 million and SpaceX bonds worth $1 million to $5 million. The trust also acquired smaller stakes in data center operators and tech companies like Nvidia and Microsoft. These transactions have raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest due to the companies' ties to government contracts and policies, though the trust is managed independently.
