WASHINGTON, Oct ⁠8 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump bought as much as $1.6 million and ⁠sold as much as $1 million in Nvidia stock in ‌August, according to his latest financial disclosure, which was released on Thursday as he prepared to award Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang the nation's highest honor for scientific ​achievement.

The new disclosure of the president's investment ⁠in one of the ⁠world's most valuable companies comes as his administration weighs policies that ⁠could shape ‌Nvidia's fortunes, including rules governing exports of its advanced chips.

White House spokesperson DavisIngle said in a statement to ⁠Reuters that third-party financial institutions independently manage the ​president's portfolio and ‌replicate "recognized indexes, such as the Schwab 1000."

Huang is set to ⁠receive the National ​Medal of Science from Trump on Thursday. The award honors Americans who have made "outstanding contributions to knowledge in the physical, biological, mathematical, engineering, ⁠or social and behavioral sciences, in service ​to the nation," according to the National Science Foundation's website.

Past recipients have been honored for advances ranging from cancer detection to protecting the ⁠food supply during droughts.

The Nvidia trades were one of hundreds the president made in August, according to the disclosure signed by the president on September 17 and made public on Thursday.

"All investment decisions ​are made entirely by independent managers," Ingle ⁠said. "There are no conflicts of interest.”

Trump is also set to give ​the same award to SpaceX CEO Elon ‌Musk and Google co-founder Sergey Brin ​on Thursday.

Nvidia's spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

华盛顿，10 月 8 日（路透社）——根据唐纳德·特朗普总统周四公布的最新财务披露信息，他在 8 月份买入了价值高达 160 万美元的英伟达股票，同时卖出了价值高达 100 万美元的英伟达股票。与此同时，他正准备向英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋颁发美国科学成就最高荣誉。

总统对全球最有价值的公司之一的投资的最新披露正值其政府权衡可能影响英伟达命运的政策之际，这些政策包括管理其先进芯片出口的规则。

白宫发言人戴维斯·英格尔在给路透社的一份声明中表示，第三方金融机构独立管理总统的投资组合，并复制“公认的指数，例如嘉信理财1000指数”。

黄哲伦将于周四从特朗普手中接过国家科学奖章。根据美国国家科学基金会的网站介绍，该奖项旨在表彰“在物理、生物、数学、工程或社会和行为科学领域为国家做出杰出贡献”的美国人。

过去的获奖者因其在癌症检测、干旱期间保护粮食供应等方面的成就而受到表彰。

根据总统于 9 月 17 日签署并于周四公开的披露文件，英伟达股票交易是总统在 8 月份进行的数百笔交易之一。

英格尔表示：“所有投资决策均由独立经理人做出，不存在任何利益冲突。”

特朗普还将于周四向 SpaceX 首席执行官埃隆·马斯克和谷歌联合创始人谢尔盖·布林颁发同样的奖项。

英伟达发言人尚未对此事作出回应。
