On Friday, the Democratic opposition accused U.S. President Donald Trump of corruption following the disclosure of significant stock market operations carried out in his name, despite denials of wrongdoing from his son.

"The president's corruption is a national security disaster," wrote Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren on X.

Warren specifically referenced the acquisition of shares in NVIDIA, a manufacturer of advanced chips utilized by artificial intelligence companies. The allegations suggest that Trump allowed the company to sell products to China, resulting in a temporary surge in its stock price.

"Trump took NVIDIA's CEO on his trip to China to pressure Xi Jinping into buying advanced AI chips, even though that would create a threat to U.S. national security," Warren stated. "It turns out that Trump also purchased millions in NVIDIA stock," she added.

The president's eldest son, Eric Trump, who manages the family business alongside his brother Donald Trump Jr., denied any irregularities.

"All of our assets are invested in a blind trust by the largest financial institutions in broad market indices. To suggest that individual stocks are being bought or sold, at the discretion of any member of the Trump family, would be a lie and flatly false," Eric Trump wrote on X.

Although the eldest son holds no official government position, he accompanied the president to China this week. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang was also part of the delegation.

The Democratic Governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker, described Trump as "the most corrupt president in American history," according to a post on X.

Upon his return to power, Trump handed over the management of his businesses to his sons, though with fewer restrictions than during his first term. The president himself has often blurred the lines of protocol by hosting diplomatic events at his private residences.

Documents released on Thursday under Trump's name detail transactions exceeding $200 million, involving major corporations such as Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and Boeing. Forbes magazine estimated the president's personal fortune at $6.5 billion in March 2026, marking an increase of $1.4 billion over the past year.
