The US president bought shares in Kura Sushi USA in February, according to his latest financial disclosure, despite rumors that he is no fan of sushi<\/strong><\/p>\n

US President Donald Trump invested $1-5 million in a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant chain earlier this year, a report detailing his financial transactions has revealed. Though he is known to love fast food, it is rumored that he is not a fan of sushi.<\/p>\n

According to Trump\u2019s latest financial disclosure, which was made public last Thursday by the US Office of Government Ethics, he purchased a stake in Kura Sushi USA on February 2.<\/p>\n

The American subsidiary of the Japanese chain currently operates 88 eateries across the US and features the signature Revolving Sushi Bar, where diners choose dishes on a conveyor belt.<\/p>\n

According to Bloomberg, parent company Kura Sushi saw its shares listed in Tokyo shoot up by 5.4% on Monday, posting its biggest intraday gain in almost a year.<\/p>\n

The transaction is marked as \u2018solicited\u2019 in Trump\u2019s financial disclosure, meaning that it was likely made at the recommendation of a financial broker or investment adviser managing the president\u2019s accounts.<\/p>\n

The Trump Organization has said that in order to avoid conflicts of interest, the president\u2019s investments are \u201cindependently managed by third-party financial institutions,\u201d<\/em> with no input from Trump or his family members.<\/p>\n

Some of the other investments made in the president\u2019s name earlier this year include majors such as Amazon, Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta Platforms, and Oracle, with transactions valued at $5 million to $25 million.<\/p>\n

Several other restaurant chains also made the list, including Chipotle Mexican Grill, Domino\u2019s Pizza, and Starbucks.<\/p>\n

As for sushi, Trump is presumably not a fan, as claimed in the 1993 book \u2018Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump\u2019.<\/p>\n

During a 2017 visit to Japan, Trump was reportedly served hamburgers for lunch and a dinner of Wagyu beef, scallops, and lobster.<\/p>\n

He is known to have a soft spot for McDonald\u2019s and was famously photographed picking up an order as it was delivered to the Oval Office last month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
