Vance commented on Trump's stock transactions and denied his personal involvement
U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance stated that Donald Trump did not personally engage in any stock trading while in office. His comments came amid reports of numerous securities transactions listed in his financial disclosure form, including investments in companies that Trump had previously publicly endorsed.
CNN reports on this.
According to Vance, Trump’s finances are managed by independent financial advisors, so he does not conduct these transactions himself.
Journalists’ questions focused on the president’s latest financial disclosure, which lists thousands of stock transactions, including investments in companies that Trump has publicly praised or that did business with his administration. When asked about the appropriateness of such activities, Vance downplayed the issue and noted that Trump supports restrictions on stock trading for government officials.
Vance emphasized that no one has the right to use confidential official information for market transactions. He added that the best solution to this problem is a complete legislative ban on such activities, which the president has proposed.
