Sharees of the Republican Taylor Greene fuel insider trading allegations against Trump-Umfeld-Diepresse.com
Taylor Greene, one of the volume supporters of the US President, bought shares by tens of thousands of dollars shortly before the U-Zollpolitik.
The US MP Taylor Greene bought shares by tens of thousands of dollars in his customs policy shortly before the U-turn of President Donald Trump last week. This emerges from mandatory information compared to the US Congress, which Greene submitted on Monday. The Trump-related republican fueled the allegations of insider trade against the president.
Trump had triggered course stakes at the financial markets with his announcement of massive tariffs against numerous countries in early April. Last Wednesday shortly after the opening of the New York Stock Exchange, he made a message in his short message service Truth Social, in which he called on stock market investments. Only hours later he lowered the tariffs for the EU and many other trading partners to 10 percent for 90 days. This led to a clear upswing on the stock exchanges.
Greene apparently took the call to heart: On Tuesday and Wednesday last week, she stated that there were shares of several tech companies such as Apple and Amazon or the Pharmaries Merck at a price of $ 21,000 to $ 315,000. US MPs are allowed to act on the stock exchange, but they must inform about corresponding business in writing within 30 days. You don’t have to disclose the exact sums.
US state bonds sold
The MP from the state of Georgia, one of the volume supporters of the US President, said the information also sold US state bonds worth $ 50 to $ 100,000 at the same time.
Democratic politicians had accused Trump about his entry on Truth Social « Insiderhandel » and asked for an investigation. Trump’s tweet shows that he gave his own people a hint to make money in advance, said Senator Chris Murphy. « Who in the government knew about Trump’s change of course in the tariffs in advance? » Asked the Senator Adam Schiff. « Has anyone bought or sold shares and benefited at the public’s expense? »
The White House said Trump only wanted to « calm down » the public. It was the responsibility of the President to do this « given the constant panicism of the media », spokesman Kush Desai said the Washington Post. (APA/AFP)
