Trump Financial Disclosure Names Nvidia, Apple, Palantir Stakes
A Trump financial disclosure report reveals holdings in Nvidia, Apple, and Palantir, drawing fresh scrutiny to the president's tech investments.

Any policy decisions touching those sectors could theoretically affect the disclosed holdings, a dynamic that ethics experts say warrants close public attention.
