SloveniaThe article discusses allegations of potential conflicts of interest involving U.S. President Donald Trump, focusing on his undisclosed stock purchases made shortly before he unexpectedly announced a 90-day pause on planned tariffs. These transactions were revealed in Trump's annual financial disclosure report, which was published weeks after the deadline set by U.S. law. According to the report, Trump paid late fees for failing to disclose these purchases on time. The timing of the purchases—just before the tariff announcement—has raised questions about whether they were influenced by insider knowledge of Trump’s decision. The White House has denied any wrongdoing, stating that Trump’s family and the Trump Organization have no role in managing his investments, which are handled by independent third parties. Former ethics director Don Fox called the situation 'corruption without precedent,' noting that no previous president had conducted such extensive trading and disclosed it so late.
