Former U.S. president Donald Trump has spent the autumn buying at least $82 million worth of municipal and corporate bonds, according to filings from the U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE).
His new portfolio includes securities from Netflix, UnitedHealth Group, Boeing, Meta, Home Depot, Broadcom and Intel — companies directly affected by policies enacted during his administration.
One of the most notable moves came in August, when Trump executed a deal that resulted in the U.S. government acquiring nearly 10% of Intel. Bloomberg describes this as an unusually heavy-handed market intervention, which the administration defended as essential for safeguarding domestic chip manufacturing.
