🇺🇸 Trump Launches “America First” ETFs and Financial Products
‘America First’ branded funds raise ethics questions
A major new development in U.S. financial markets is the launch of five “America First” exchange-traded funds (ETFs) linked to Trump’s Truth Social platform and his business network. These funds debuted on the New York Stock Exchange and are branded with patriotic themes such as American energy, defense, and technology, including crypto exposure. Critics — including government ethics watchdogs — argue the products blur the lines between public office and private profit, since Trump transferred business shares to a revocable trust managed by his son instead of a blind trust, sparking conflict-of-interest concerns.
