The documents revealing these purchases were dated October 17 and 20 and were released following the conclusion of the US government shutdown, as noted by the agency.

The office stated that Trump has spent at least $82 million on bonds this fall, including those issued by companies such as Netflix Inc., UnitedHealth Group Inc., Boeing Co., Meta Platforms Inc., Home Depot Inc., Broadcom Inc., and Intel Corp.

The US government had taken ownership stakes in some of these companies during the Trump administration. In addition, the president also bought municipal bonds from various US cities, local school districts, utilities, and hospitals.


The data does not include specific details about the number of securities or their value, as elected and appointed officials are legally required to disclose only general information regarding transactions involving stocks, bonds, commodity futures, and other securities. However, the US president did not report any bond sales.
