Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a close ally of President Donald Trump, invested as much as $750,000 in U.S. Treasury bonds from mid- to late March, according to transaction disclosures reviewed by Sludge. The purchases, made in three transactions between March 17 and March 25, align with her vocal support for Trump’s recently imposed tariffs—policies that have triggered a sharp decline in stock markets.
Greene’s Treasury bond purchases were made in the days before the tariff plans were finalized, during a period when investors and foreign nations were scrambling to figure out what Trump’s plans were for April 2, the day he had announced for tariffs to go into effect. On March 25, the day of Greene’s last purchase of up to $250,000 worth of U.S. Treasury bonds, Trump told reporters of his tariff plans, “I have them set,” though investors and foreign leaders didn’t find out the details of the tariffs until April 2.
