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.

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.

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.
