President Donald Trump has disclosed making another 1,000-plus stock transactions in June, continuing an unprecedented pace of trading activity while in office that has drawn scrutiny over his ability to personally profit off of the presidency.
The trades, submitted in a filing to the Office of Government Ethics, included the purchase and sale of thousands of dollars of stock in energy companies directly affected by Trump’s ongoing war in Iran.
The transactions also targeted companies in a wide range of industries that Trump has sought to shape through his policies, including drug manufacturers like Eli Lilly and Merck and major artificial intelligence firms like Nvidia.
The White House denied that Trump has any influence over his investment accounts, saying in a statement that his portfolio “is independently managed by third-party financial institutions.”
“Neither President Trump nor any member of his family has any ability to direct, influence, or provide input regarding how the portfolio is invested or when investments are being bought or sold,” White House spokesman Davis Ingle said. “There are no conflicts of interest.”
Still, the size and frequency of his transactions while in office have generated sharp criticism from Democrats and watchdogs, who point to evidence of Trump’s ballooning personal wealth during the first half of his second presidency.
In addition to making thousands of stock trades so far this year, Trump’s earlier disclosures showed him collecting billions of dollars through a range of cryptocurrency holdings, royalty payments and property investments in 2025.
That far outpaces the profits that prior presidents have made while in office, many of whom sought to minimize any personal investments that could be seen as a potential conflict of interest.
Trump in June had a series of trades in energy stocks that have fluctuated throughout the war, which has driven up the global price of oil and sent US gas prices soaring. That included two separate sales of between $1,001 and $15,000 in Exxon Mobil stock and the later purchase of Exxon stock within a similar range.
He also bought and sold stock on three occasions in Chevron, which Trump has touted as the only major US oil company operating in Venezuela prior to his military operation in the country earlier this year.
Other energy-related transactions included the sale of ConocoPhillips stock in three instances, the sale of Valero Energy stock and the purchase of shares in Occidental Petroleum.
Trump also bought and sold stocks in US defense contractors as Iran negotiations were ongoing. He reported various transactions involving Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics and RTX between June 12 and June 24, with some of the sales coming the day after Trump had purchased that stock.
Additionally, Trump invested in billionaire ally Elon Musk’s company SpaceX, purchasing between $15,001 and $50,000 in stock shortly after its high-profile initial public offering.
