Trump Faces Ethics Concerns Over Nuclear Fusion Deal

Donald Trump is facing scrutiny over a $6 billion deal between his Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) and TAE Technologies, a nuclear fusion company. The deal raises concerns about a potential conflict of interest, as Trump would have a financial stake in a company regulated by the federal government and likely to require further funding from it. Ethics experts point out that Trump has not divested from his business interests, as other presidents have done, and that his involvement in matters related to the company would be unethical. Trump Media’s stock price surged after the deal was announced, increasing Trump’s personal wealth.
