#CongressTradingBan 🚨 Lawmakers under fire for stock trades amid tariff turmoil!
📉 Recent market volatility, spurred by President Trump's tariff policies, has reignited debates over congressional stock trading. Notably, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene purchased significant stocks just before a 90-day tariff pause announcement, leading to substantial gains. Critics argue this timing suggests potential insider advantage.
📝 In response, bipartisan efforts are pushing for stricter regulations. The proposed End Congressional Stock Trading Act aims to prohibit lawmakers and their families from trading individual stocks, addressing concerns over conflicts of interest.
🔍 Transparency and trust are paramount. As discussions continue, the focus remains on ensuring that public officials act in the nation's best interest, free from personal financial motivations.
