The abrupt pause on tariffs announced by the President raises serious concerns about potential insider trading or market manipulation. This unilateral decision caused stock prices to skyrocket within minutes, benefitting those with advance knowledge of the announcement. An investigation is warranted to determine if the President or any individuals in his administration improperly profited or attempted to improperly influence the markets prior to this major policy reversal. Upholding ethical standards and transparency is paramount to maintaining public trust and the integrity of our financial markets. Insider trading erodes confidence in a fair system and cannot be tolerated, especially from those in the highest offices. I urge you to fully examine this matter and take appropriate action to uncover any wrongdoing and hold those responsible accountable under the law.
