In June 2026, President Donald Trump executed more than 1,000 stock trades, including purchases in SpaceX shortly after its IPO and multiple transactions in tech and defense companies like Palantir. The largest trade was a sale of Vanguard ETF shares worth between $5 million and $25 million. These trades raise questions about who controls Trump's investments, as the White House claims independent institutions manage them. The volume and nature of the trades have drawn scrutiny from lawmakers amid concerns over potential conflicts of interest during his presidency.
