President Donald Trump is considering a ban on members of Congress trading stocks, according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. This consideration comes in response to concerns about potential exploitation by some members of Congress during Trump's trade war, which led to trillions of dollars lost in Americans' retirement funds. The proposal to ban stock trading by members of Congress has been prompted by Representative Escobar's call for the Ethics Committee to investigate the matter. Leavitt expressed that Trump could be interested in legislation that would prohibit such trading activities.
