The disclosures have renewed debate over potential conflicts of interest, as Trump continues to control a vast business empire and has not placed his assets into a blind trust, in which the owner has no knowledge of how investments are managed.
Previous U.S. presidents used different approaches to reduce such risks. George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton placed assets into blind trusts, while Barack Obama and Joe Biden avoided trading individual stocks altogether while in office.
