In the past period of time, the various tariff policies of the US government have made the stock market seem to be riding a roller coaster, a scene that remains fresh in people's memories. Recently, a non-profit private news website in the United States, "For the People," conducted a query of hundreds of disclosure reports of securities transactions by US government employees, congressional staff, and others, and made some discoveries. The website reported on the 22nd that, through the query, since the beginning of this administration in January of this year, more than a dozen senior officials from various US government departments, congressional staff, and even members of Congress have made similar, well-timed trades, including a senior legal advisor at the White House, a business manager at the US Trade Representative's Office, officials from the US State Department, House staff, an assistant from the Senate Judiciary Committee, and the current US ambassador to Slovakia. Most of them sold stocks before the market plummeted due to US tariff policies. Some also purchased stocks of companies in industries favored by a pending bill right before it was approved. When faced with questioning, without exception, these individuals either deny having insider information or simply refuse to comment.
