Donald Trump: President-elect will NOT look to prosecute Hillary Clinton
Trump has said he might have to build a fence, rather than a wall, in some areas of the U.S.
Trump’s reversal on further investigations of the Clintons raised questions about the gulf between his fiery campaign promises and what he intends to do as the nation’s 45th president.
The Times reported Monday that the President-elect encouraged British politician Nigel Farage, a Trump supporter, to oppose the wind farms that Trump thinks will spoil the view from one of his Scottish golf courses.
Later in the day, though, he ultimately changed his mind and did meet with them, and Trump’s meeting with the New York Times was liveblogged by reporters who also attended.
After meeting in an impromptu and off-the-record conversation, Donald Trump will be having an interview that will be published.
The president-elect’s remarks in an interview with The New York Times were tweeted out by Times reporters.
On Tuesday, he took a softer line on the treaty, saying only, “I’m looking at it very closely”.
Trump also denied that his candidacy had re-energised neo-Nazi, white nationalist campaigners – Steve Bannon, who he has appointed as his White House strategist he was being made out to be; Bannon’s former website Breitbart News was conservative, but not racist or nationalist in its reporting. “I have great respect for the New York Times”, he said.
His Argentinian business partners celebrated with him at his victory party and helped President Mauricio Macri get in touch with the president-elect after the election. He said: If those people are encouraged by me, I don’t want that and I’m not asking that. “This has been looked at for so long, ad nauseum”.
As a candidate, Trump called climate change a “hoax” and vowed to pull out of the Paris climate accord on reducing greenhouse gases.
Now elected and due to become president on Jan 20, when he was confronted by Times columnist Thomas Friedman he admitted there may be a link between human industry and global warming.
“It depends on how much”, the reporter quoted Mr Trump as saying.
At 6:16 a.m. Tuesday, Trump tweeted that the Times had sought to change the ground rules of their meetings, which he termed “not nice”.
“I can’t recall an incoming president gathering everybody up in a cattle call and doing it all at once”, Allan Louden, chairman of the Wake Forest University Communications Department, said in an interview with VOA. “I didn’t know if I’d like him”.
Now: Recalling their Oval Office meeting, “I really liked him a lot”. That’s a big problem because you don’t cure that.as an example: child molesting.
Another ventured that Trump’s behaviour was “totally inappropriate” and “f***ing outrageous”. Obama is reportedly reconsidering how much he’ll withdraw from the political scene upon leaving the White House.
Trump, who has yet to hold the traditional news conference held by a president-elect in the days after winning, said his own businesses are “unimportant to me” in comparison to the presidency, but he also said he now believes he could continue to run them at the same time if he wanted.
“I have to tell you, I am emotionally f*cking pissed”, one participant told The New Yorker.
Sen. Ben Cardin of Maryland, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and a member of the Senate Finance Committee, said Tuesday that he planned to introduce a resolution next week calling on Trump to convert his assets to “simple, conflict-free holdings”, adopt a blind trust or take other measures to ensure compliance with the Emoluments Clause of the U.S. Constitution.
