WASHINGTON
U.S. President Donald Trump made 18 trades in Coupang shares between October and May, financial disclosure reports reveal. Managed by his financial advisors, the transactions suggest Trump currently holds up to $130,000 in the U.S.-listed e-commerce giant. The investments are drawing heavy scrutiny due to growing political friction between Washington and Seoul. U.S. officials recently slammed South Korea’s regulatory investigation into a massive Coupang data breach as “discriminatory.” While filings show Trump earned little to no profit from these transactions last year, the strategic timing of the trades continues to fuel intense ethical debates.
