Truth Social

Truth Social is a social media platform owned by Trump Media & Technology Group, founded by former U.S. President Donald Trump. The platform has recently garnered attention due to a proposed "Truth API" product, which would offer early access to posts from top accounts, including Trump's, for a significant monthly fee. This plan has prompted U.S. Democratic senators to request an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) into potential violations. Truth Social also serves as a primary communication channel for Donald Trump, who has used it to post statements regarding international affairs, such as threatening substantial tariffs on the European Union after Google was fined, and vowing to use frozen Iranian assets to pay for damages in the Strait of Hormuz. The platform's activities and Trump's use of it remain newsworthy amidst ongoing political and economic discussions.
