U.S. President Donald Trump executed 18 trades in Coupang Inc. shares between October and May, according to his latest financial disclosure reports released Saturday.

The transactions occurred during a period of heightened diplomatic and trade tensions between Washington and Seoul, raising questions about potential conflicts of interest.

The revelation comes as markets continue to scrutinize the president's personal investment portfolio.

Previous disclosures have shown a significant expansion of Trump's holdings, including substantial positions in major technology firms like Apple Inc. and commemorative coins.

The Coupang trades represent a notable addition to his international equity exposure.

According to Yonhap News Agency, the financial reports detailed the specific timing and nature of the 18 transactions.
