Shkruar nga PamfletiDocuments released on Thursday on behalf of Donald Trump detail transactions worth over $200 million (172 million euros) involving major companies such as Amazon, Apple, Microsoft and Boeing.
US President Donald Trump has been linked to financial transactions worth hundreds of millions of dollars involving major American companies, Le Monde writes.
Documents filed by an independent federal ethics agency specifically report transactions carried out in 2026 involving several major players in technology and the US economy, including Amazon, Apple, Microsoft and Uber.
This amount amounts to several hundred million dollars, for 2026 alone. New documents made public on Thursday, May 14, reveal that US President Donald Trump was involved this year in a series of financial transactions linked to major US companies.
Published by the Office of Government Ethics (OGE), an independent federal agency, the documents, which bear the name of the US president, detail transactions involving several major players in the US technology and economic sectors, including Amazon, Apple, Microsoft and Uber. Chipmaker Nvidia and aircraft manufacturer Boeing are also mentioned.
For each of these companies, the reported amounts range from $1 million to $5 million (approximately €850,000 to €4.3 million). However, the filings do not specify the exact nature of the assets involved, for example, whether they are purchases of stocks, bonds or other financial instruments.
Assets held in a trust fund administered by his son
The documents also mention several large-scale "sales," including those involving Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta, some of which ranged from $5 million to $25 million.
The Office of Government Ethics aims to "avoid financial conflicts of interest and other violations of ethical rules within the approximately 140 offices and agencies of the executive branch," according to its website.
Other financial documents related to the US president have been made public in the past. The US president's assets are held in a trust administered by his son, Donald Jr. It is a revocable trust, meaning he can regain direct control of his assets at any time.
The opposition accuses Donald Trump of corruption
The US president's son denied any direct involvement by the Republican in the investments revealed Thursday by an independent federal agency. The total value of these transactions exceeds $200 million and includes major companies such as Amazon, Apple, Boeing and Nvidia.
Since Donald Trump returned to the White House, suspicions of conflicts of interest have regularly surfaced. Democratic opponents accused the US president of corruption on Friday, May 15, after an independent federal agency published significant stock market transactions conducted in his name the day before.
“The president’s corruption is a national security disaster,” Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren declared in X. She specifically mentioned Nvidia’s stock purchases, which the Trump administration allowed to sell components to China, temporarily boosting its stock price.
The president's eldest son, Eric Trump, who runs the family business with his brother Don Jr., responded to X: "All of our assets are invested by the largest financial institutions in broad market indices through a blind fund. To suggest that members of the Trump family decide to buy or sell certain stocks in particular would be a lie."
Eric Trump, who does not hold an official position, and Nvidia chief Jensen Huang accompanied the US president this week on his trip to China.
Illinois Democratic Governor JB Pritzker described Donald Trump in an interview as "the most corrupt president in American history," while the anti-corruption NGO Citizens for Ethics accused the Republican billionaire of "taking advantage of every opportunity to enrich himself."
A mix of genres
Since returning to power, Donald Trump has entrusted the management of his businesses to his sons, with less stringent ethical restrictions than during his first term (2017-2021). At that time, for example, he implemented a moratorium on his family's foreign investments, which he did not renew. The Trump Organization recently announced the construction of a hotel complex in Tbilisi, Georgia.
The US president himself blurs boundaries, hosting diplomatic events at his private residences. Documents released on Thursday in Donald Trump's name detail transactions worth over $200 million (172 million euros) involving major companies such as Amazon, Apple, Microsoft and Boeing.
Forbes estimated the president's personal wealth at $6.5 billion in March 2026, an increase of $1.4 billion in one year.
