Arabic version: الجمهوريون يروّجون لحظر التداول فيما تظل حسابات ترامب نشطة

According to Cnbc, Republicans are putting a congressional stock-trading ban at the center of an anti-corruption message during their first midterm convention in Dallas, where President Donald Trump is taking a central role. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., is among at least two expected speakers set to call for restrictions on congressional stock trading during the opening day, focused on “Government Integrity.”

The convention message comes as Trump’s investment accounts have remained highly active. Across eight accounts, Trump disclosed at least $858 million in assets and more than 21,000 trades in 2025, compared with roughly 500 trades during his entire first term. In June, he disclosed 1,051 transactions totaling between $78.1 million and $263.1 million. The accounts bought and sold stocks, bonds and exchange-traded funds, including positions involving Meta, Berkshire Hathaway, Visa, Mastercard and up to $50,000 in newly public SpaceX.

CNBC found no evidence that Trump directed the transactions, traded on advance knowledge of government decisions or shaped policy to benefit his investments. The Trump Organization has said outside financial institutions have full discretion over investment decisions and rely heavily on automated strategies. The White House has said Trump cannot direct individual transactions and that there are no conflicts of interest. Trump remains the beneficiary of the assets when their value rises.

House Republicans passed the Stop Insider Trading Act, 232-198, in July. The bill would prohibit members of Congress from buying individual stocks while in office, while allowing them to keep existing holdings and sell shares after publicly disclosing their intent at least seven days in advance. Its restrictions would not apply to the president. Rep. Seth Magaziner, D-R.I., who has worked with Republicans on a broader proposal, said in July: “It’s a stock trading ban that still allows stock trading.”
