美国加州民主党参议员亚当·希夫(Adam Schiff)周三公开呼吁国会就总统唐纳德·特朗普是否涉嫌内幕交易或市场操纵展开调查。此举源于特朗普突然宣布暂停征收关税后,美股应声飙升,而他本人此前在社交媒体上公开呼吁投资者“抄底”的行为引发轩然大波。
Senator Adam Schiff, a California Democrat, on Wednesday called on Congress to investigate whether President Donald Trump engaged in insider trading or market manipulation when he abruptly paused a sweeping set of tariffs, a move that sent stock prices skyrocketing.
“冷静点!一切都会好起来的。” 美东时间上午,就在美股开盘几分钟后,特朗普在其自创的社媒平台“真实社交”上发帖称。“美国将比以往任何时候都更强大、更强大!”他随后补充道:“现在是买入的好时机!!!DJT。”
"BE COOL," Trump told his followers on social media after the markets opened. Just a couple of minutes later he wrote, "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT."
“DJT”既是特朗普姓名的首字母,也是特朗普媒体科技集团(Trump Media & Technology)的股票代码。特朗普媒体科技集团是“真实社交”的母公司,特朗普持有该公司多数股权。
几小时后,特朗普宣布对不采取报复行动的国家或地区实施90天的关税暂停。这一消息引发美股强劲反弹,推动标准普尔500指数当日飙升逾9%。
这一系列操作随即引发民主党人强烈质疑。希夫在接受《时代周刊》采访时表示:“我会尽力查明真相。家族模因币以及其他类似行为,可能涉及内幕交易或中饱私囊。”
"I'm going to do my best to find out," Schiff tells TIME. "Family meme coins and all the rest of it are not beyond insider trading or enriching themselves. I hope to find out soon."
“市场操纵”一词在社交媒体平台X上迅速成为热门话题,相关讨论超3.3万条。众议院金融服务委员会民主党党团官方账号发文抨击:“美国总统实际上参与了世界上最大的市场操纵计划。”
"The President of the United States is literally engaging in the world’s biggest market manipulation scheme," the Democrats from the House Committee on Financial Services posted on X on Wednesday afternoon.
