Trump’s Oil Stocks Gain $15.5 Million Amid Iran War Report

President Donald Trump's oil and gas stock holdings may have gained up to $15.5 million this year, according to a report from Congress' Joint Economic Committee. His reported holdings, valued between $12.5 million and $45.6 million, rose approximately 39% through August 17. Significant investments include Exxon Mobil and Chevron, with shares of Valero Energy and Marathon Petroleum more than doubling. This surge raises questions about Trump's trading activity, which Democrats may investigate following the midterm elections, highlighting the implications for market regulation and political scrutiny.
