Trump's Investment Accounts Made Boeing Purchase on Day of $880M Navy Contract

The U.S. Navy awarded Boeing an $880 million contract to modernize training systems for the P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft on June 18, 2026.

An investment account in President Donald Trump's name purchased between $250,001 and $500,000 worth of Boeing shares that same day, according to a financial disclosure published by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics on August 22.

The White House claims Trump does not control these trades, but the timing is striking given Trump's accounts actively bought and sold shares in oil and gas companies throughout the Iran war, which sent U.S. gasoline prices above $4 per gallon and lifted energy stocks.
