An article summarized by Bloomberg:

President Trump made more than 1,000 securities trades in June, according to a financial disclosure released by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics. His investments included significant purchases of companies such as Berkshire Hathaway, Visa, Mastercard and Cintas. The transactions totaled between $78.1 million and $263.1 million, though the disclosure only provides ranges rather than exact amounts.

The largest transaction was a sale of between $5 million and $25 million of a Vanguard ETF on June 22nd. The filing comes after Trump made more than 21,000 securities trades in 2025, with transactions often occurring around major market-moving events. Those 2025 trades were valued at between $600 million and $1.86 billion, according to previous disclosures.

The disclosures have raised questions about potential conflicts of interest given Trump's position as president and his extensive investment activity. However, the White House says there are no conflicts because Trump's investments are independently managed, while his son Eric Trump has said the assets are held in a blind trust.
