Conflict Concerns
The disclosure shows extensive trading, including activity around market-moving political and geopolitical developments. Critics could view the pattern as raising questions about potential conflicts of interest.
White House Defense
The White House said there are no conflicts because Trump’s investments are independently managed and held in discretionary accounts.

Conflict Concerns
Repeated buying and selling of securities such as Palantir, Berkshire Hathaway and Northrop Grumman can prompt questions about how the portfolio is managed.
