August 9: Here Are
Donald Trump's Biggest Stock Market Investments
On Tuesday, the Republican presidential candidate called the stock markets “a
big bubble.” Some
commentators have pointed out it may seem odd then that Trump himself has a
fair amount of his money invested in stocks.

November 18: A brand and digital strategist
co-created the hashtag #GrabYourWallet, pointing to businesses involved with
President-elect Donald Trump or Ivanka Trump so consumers could boycott them,
reports the
Huffington Post. Now, consumers can look at a
spreadsheet riddled with businesses the Trumps are involved with. Here’s a
look at some of these businesses and their ties to the Trumps.

February 3: ... the
fiduciary rule ... would have prohibited retirement advisers from accepting
incentives for promoting certain funds over others. That can create a conflict
of interest -- and advisers don't always have to disclose the incentives to
clients ... On Friday, President Trump took a step toward halting it.

June 8: [The] long-awaited rule
from the Labor Department ... Introduced by the Obama administration and
delayed under President Donald Trump, major components of the fiduciary rule
will finally take effect Friday. The new regulations state that advisors who
have their hands in your retirement accounts must act as fiduciaries, which
means they’re required to put your best interest ahead of their own.

May 17: President Trump Reveals His Stock
Market Investments, Here's What We Learned
With President Trump's recent financial disclosure of
payments to his personal lawyer, he also shared the latest
detail on his investment holdings. So what is the latest on how President
Trump is invested? Well, as expected, the bulk of Trump's wealth is held across
a number of companies including hotels, brands, golf courses and media and, in
fact, there
are many details the disclosure does not provide.

Measures on China Investments
The White House moved forward with plans to limit Chinese investments but chose
a less confrontational approach, deciding against invoking a rarely used law
reserved for economic emergencies.

July 13: ... Turnberry, the golf course he
bought in 2014 and rechristened Trump Turnberry. This property has not received
the attention it deserves. It is, by far, the biggest investment the Trump
Organization has made in years. It is so much bigger than his other recent
projects that it would not be unreasonable to describe the Trump Organization
as, at its core, a manager of a money-losing Scottish golf course that is kept
afloat with funds from licensing fees and decades-old real-estate projects.

July 24: The Cost of Trump’s Economic
Nationalism: A Loss of Foreign Investment in the United States
Beyond the cost of President Trump’s trade war with longtime US friends and
rivals, his policy of economic nationalism has taken a toll in another important
sphere: Net inward investment into the United States by multinational
corporations—both foreign and American—has fallen almost to zero. As I pointed
out in a posting in
Foreign Affairs this month, this shift of corporate investment away from the
United States will decrease long-term US income growth, reduce
the number of well-paid jobs available, and accelerate the shift of global
commerce away from the United States.

July 9: Trump Awaits Congress on Investment
and Technology Controls
After threatening to issue an Executive Order unilaterally restricting direct
investment and technology flows to and from China, President Trump abruptly
moved on June 27 to defer to Congress on this sensitive issue, for now. His
action makes congressional passage of what is called the Foreign Investment Risk
Review Modernization Act (FIRRMA) more likely.
Two versions of the legislation exist, however, and it’s not certain which one
will prevail. While bills passed by the House and Senate legislation leave
investment flows out of the United States under the jurisdiction of the Commerce
Department, which chairs the process for controlling exports under the Export
Administration Act (EAA), they differ on additional authority afforded to the
Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)—chaired by the
Treasury Department—which has responsibility for national security reviews of
investment into the United States.

July 10: Former Putin adviser has secret
investment in US energy firm praised by Trump
Exclusive: Alexander Voloshin has undisclosed stake in American Ethane - which
has been hailed by Donald Trump
The president was promoting “American prosperity and trade” in deals that would
generate “thousands of American jobs”, the White House announced.
In fact, the chief beneficiaries of the Trump-endorsed deal live and work in
Moscow. One of them is Voloshin, who spent three years at Putin’s side, and
headed his first presidential administration.

July 24: Trump company expands investment in
Scottish golf resort
U.S. President Donald Trump’s family business unveiled plans Tuesday to invest
150 million pounds ($196 million) in the second phase of development at its
controversial golf course in northeastern Scotland.
The Trump Organization said it is seeking approval from Aberdeenshire Council to
build 500 homes, 50 hotel cottages, a sports center and equestrian facilities at
the property north of Aberdeen. The resort already includes an 18-hole golf
course, clubhouse and boutique hotel.
Critics have accused the Trump Organization of failing to deliver on promises of
investment and jobs that were made in 2008, when Scottish authorities granted
general approval for a project that included two golf courses, a 450-room hotel
and as many as 1,500 homes. Additional approvals are required when the company
submits detailed plans for each phase of the development.

August 18: U.S. Steel to invest $750 million
to revitalize flagship Gary plant in wake of Trump tariffs
The company said the investment will make “significant upgrades” to increase
efficiencies at the 110-year-old Northwest Indiana plant, which is U.S. Steel’s
largest, employing 3,800 workers.
The investment in the Gary plant is part of a $2 billion asset revitalization
program at Pittsburgh-based U.S. Steel. The five-year Gary project will include
building expansion and the installation of new production equipment and
technology.
No new hires were announced as part of the plant improvements.

August 23: Embattled Donald Trump holds
celebration for foreign investment law
Buffeted by legal problems, President Donald Trump gathered lawmakers at the
White House Thursday for something of a pep rally on a recently enacted law
designed to restrict foreign investment in the U.S.
‘’When we see something we don’t like, some country is buying something we don’t
want them to be buying, we stop it," Trump said in praise of the Foreign
Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018. "We now have the right to stop
it.”
Signed into law by Trump earlier this month, the foreign investment risk act
basically gives the government more tools to block other countries –
particularly China – from buying up or otherwise investing in U.S. companies.
The law aims to prevent theft of trade secrets and intellectual property, as
well as to keep foreign companies from setting up shop near U.S. military bases
or other national security facilities.
