In July, President Donald Trump executed more than 1,100 trades, selling off tens of millions in key tech and AI stocks, according to a report from the US Office of Government Ethics released on Tuesday. His most notable transactions included six sales of Microsoft shares, totaling around $31 million. He also offloaded Amazon shares worth up to $26 million. Trump divested up to $630,000 in Meta Platforms and about $365,000 in Alphabet, Google’s parent company. He cut down his Nvidia investments by roughly $1 million in two transactions but made a similar-sized purchase.
