Trump Bought Between $1 Million and $5 Million in Kura Sushi USA Stock

U.S. subsidiary of the Japan-based Kura Sushi chain. The transaction appeared in the president's latest financial disclosures filed with the Office of Government Ethics. Kura Sushi USA stood out among roughly 3,700 trades listed in the filings. It was one of Trump's largest stock purchases reported so far this year.

Shares of Kura Sushi USA rose more than 5% following the disclosure. U.S. business has performed strongly and that Trump's ownership stake could increase interest among retail investors in Tokyo. Some users on X questioned whether the purchase was intentional. One post suggested Trump may have confused Kura Sushi with FujiKura, an AI-related stock.

Trump's first-quarter trades also included purchases of Nvidia, Adobe, Oracle, Microsoft, Procter & Gamble, Texas Instruments, Motorola, Amazon, Costco, Dell, Boeing, Uber, and Apple. His broader holdings include stakes in Disney, Paramount Skydance, Warner Bros, DoorDash, Chipotle, Pinterest, Alphabet, Philip Morris, Altria, Honeywell, eBay, Home Depot, Walmart, and Meta.

A spokesperson for the Trump Organization told Reuters that the president's stock holdings are maintained through fully discretionary accounts managed by third-party financial institutions. The spokesperson said neither Trump nor his family selects, directs, or approves specific investments.

Vice President JD Vance said during a Tuesday press briefing that the president does not make the trades himself. Vance stated that Trump is a wealthy person whose accounts are handled by others. Congress has introduced legislation that would ban lawmakers and the president from trading stocks.

The bill advanced out of a Senate committee last year but faces an uncertain path in the current Congress.
