Trump purchased bonds totaling at least $51 million in March, according to a disclosure

U.S. President Donald Trump acquired bonds totaling at least $51 million in March, as revealed by financial disclosures made public on Saturday, covering a range of sectors.

Last month, Trump conducted 175 financial transactions, as indicated by forms released by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics. The forms provide a range of values for each sale or purchase, rather than exact figures.

The majority of the disclosed assets consisted of municipal bonds issued by states, counties, school districts, and other entities associated with government agencies or public-private partnerships.

His 26 largest transactions, ranging from $1 million to $5 million, primarily consisted of municipal bonds or U.S. Treasuries, although two of the listed deals involved purchases of corporate offerings from Weyerhaeuser and General Motors. He invested in an exchange-traded fund that tracks a high-yield bond index.

The president acquired corporate bonds in sectors such as energy, technology, healthcare, and financial services, featuring issuers like Constellation Energy, Occidental Petroleum, Broadcom, Nvidia, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, and major Wall Street banks including Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan Chase, as well as Boeing.

The total maximum value of Trump’s bond purchases across various asset classes is approximately $161 million.
