More Than a Dozen U.S. Officials Sold Stocks Before Trump’s Tariffs Sent the Market Plunging

TL;DR:

Over a dozen U.S. government officials and congressional aides sold stocks just before Trump’s major tariff announcements, which later caused market drops. While there’s no proof they used insider info, the timing is extremely suspect

Officials who sold their stocks include a White House lawyer, a State Department official, and a Trade Representative director selling shares before key announcements. Experts argue such trades undermine trust in government and markets.
