US President Trump Pledges to Ban Stock Trading by Congress
President Donald Trump has committed to signing legislation that would prohibit members of Congress from trading stocks, a move aimed at curbing potential insider activity. The announcement came during an interview with Time Magazine, where Trump unequivocally stated his support for the ban.
The discussion, part of the ’100 Days’ interview series, touched on growing concerns over lawmakers’ stock market involvement. Critics argue such trades could exploit non-public information, undermining public trust. Trump’s endorsement signals a potential shift in legislative priorities.
