The President of the United States must publish their tax returns for current and 10 years prior.

It is vital to the public interest to understand the financial holdings of the President of the United States and how those holdings may provide leverage to foreign powers. For instance, if a holding of the President of the United States owes a large loan in a foreign country, trade policy could potentially increase or decrease the cost of the loan substantially. This is not a subject of concern just to the media but the people of the United States as well.
