Carl Icahn sold about $30 million of shares in a crane manufacture in the weeks before President Trump said he would impose new tariffs on U.S. steel imports.
He sold more than a third of his stake in the Manitowoc, Wisconsin-based company, which has a sizable exposure to U.S. steel imports, from Feb. 12 through Feb. 22, according to a regulatory filling last Friday.
I just thought this was weird and definitely feeds into the idea that the Trump administrastion is well-interlaced with business and big money.
