The media reported on the growth of Trump's assets after the outbreak of the conflict with Iran

US President Donald Trump's investments in oil and gas companies brought him from $1.5 million to $4.4 million after the outbreak of the conflict with Iran. This was reported on September 9 by CNBC.

"President Donald Trump's nine largest disclosed oil and gas assets increased by about $1.5–4.4 million from the eve of the conflict with Iran to August 31," the text says.

According to the TV channel, in the period from February 27 to August 31, Trump's nine largest investments in the energy sector showed growth. The calculations took into account the assets of Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Exxon Mobil, Kinder Morgan, Marathon Petroleum, Occidental Petroleum, Phillips 66, Valero Energy and Williams Companies.

White House spokesman Davis Ingle told CNBC that Trump and his family cannot influence asset management, and investment decisions are made by independent managers.

On the same day, CNBC reported that the American leader's income from cryptocurrencies in 2025 exceeded $500 million. The declaration for 2025, the first year of his second non—consecutive term in the White House, totals 927 pages.
