Investments in the oil and gas sector brought US President Donald Trump from 1.5 to 4.4 million dollars after the start of the war with Iran.

The increase in income occurred between the eve of the war (February 27) and August 31 on the nine largest investments in oil and gas companies.

According to a White House spokesman, all investment decisions are made by independent managers, and Trump and his family do not have the ability to influence the assets.

MOSCOW, September 10 - RIA Novosti. Investments in the oil and gas sector brought US President Donald Trump from 1.5 to 4.4 million dollars after the start of the war with Iran, reports CNBC.

“During the first six months of hostilities, Trump’s investment accounts continued to actively trade in shares of energy companies. Between the eve of the war (February 27) and August 31, his nine largest investments in oil and gas companies grew by approximately $1.5-4.4 million,” the channel said.

As the TV channel notes, it took into account nine assets of the American leader - Chevron, ConocoPhilips, Exxon Mobil, Kinder Morgan, Marathon Petroleum, Occidental Petroleum, Phillips 66, Valero Energy and Williams Companies.

CNBC, citing White House spokesman Davis Ingle, adds that neither Trump nor his family members have the ability to direct, influence or give instructions regarding their assets, and all investment decisions are made by independent managers.

On February 28, the United States and Israel began striking targets in Iran, to which the Iranian side responded with its own strikes. In mid-June, Tehran and Washington signed a memorandum to cease hostilities, but later exchanged blows again. At the moment, the conflict remains unresolved.
