美国总统唐纳德·特朗普表示,他“绝对”会签署一项禁止国会议员交易股票的法案,称他担心议员们可能利用内幕信息获得优势。
“我对此没有意见,”特朗普说。“如果他们把法案送交给我,我会签署。”
长期以来,美国两党一直支持立法限制国会议员买卖股票,因为他们能够接触到机密情报和有关立法进程的内部信息,使他们在市场上比其他人更具优势。2020年,一群两党参议员因在召开有关新冠疫情的闭门通报会后交易医疗保健股票而遭到批评。
特朗普特别批评了前众议院议长南希·佩洛西,她在担任众议院议长期间一直反对立法禁止国会议员及其家属进行股票交易。佩洛西的丈夫保罗·佩洛西在旧金山地区通过房地产和风险投资积累了财富,批评者常常提到这对夫妇通过股票交易取得丰厚回报的案例。
