Taiwan Police Officer Suffers Significant Financial Losses After Trump's Market Downturn

A police officer in Kaohsiung is placed on a watch list after investment failures linked to market volatility following policies announced by Donald Trump.

A police officer in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, has reportedly incurred significant financial losses following a market downturn triggered by the US President Donald Trump's "reciprocal tariffs" policy. The officer is now on a watch list due to the potential for crisis.

Following the market shock, the officer took a leave of absence from the police department. Initial investigations by the Kaohsiung City Police Department suggest the officer’s investment strategies failed. The department has classified the officer as having a "tendency towards misconduct" and initiated a care plan.

The Kaohsiung City Police Department typically places officers who have had their salaries garnished by the court by one-third on a "tendency towards misconduct" watch list. Following the market turbulence that started in early April, linked to policy changes by Donald Trump, one additional officer has been added to this list. This officer is now subject to increased supervision and support from the department.
