Trump to leave his business before taking office

He said he had also met with Sen.

But Trump, having already named former Goldman banker Steve Bannon as his chief strategist, nominated another, Mnuchin, for the key role of Treasury secretary.

President Barack Obama traveled the country ahead of his inauguration in 2009.

“Civilian control of our military is a fundamental principle of American democracy”, the senator tweeted from NY.

Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, praised Mattis’ “knowledge, experience and leadership” but also expressed concerns about the precedent being set.

There is no legal requirement to liquidate assets but past USA presidents have set aside their business deals.

Donald Trump, that most unconventional of presidential candidates, last spring pledged that he would act perfectly presidential when the time was right. Critics have said Trump should be focused on preparing to govern while supporters suggest it’s a good way of showing his voters he’s thankful.

The election is over, but Donald Trump is back on the campaign trail.

Pressed on whether that meant that it would ban Mr Trump for expressing such views, the company said that those rules apply to all accounts without exception, including for those that are verified.

At the start of his address, Trump launched lofty appeals to unite what he called a “very divided nation” and reject “bigotry and prejudice in all of its forms”.

A decision on the secretary of state post is not believed to be imminent. The president-elect also met with Corker and Petraeus this week.

Among Trump’s business interests is a minor share in the company involved with building the Dakota Access Pipeline, a controversial project threatening the water supply of Native American tribes in North Dakota. What’s a serious matter for a second-term congressman with a small business has no equivalent for a president with a multibillion-dollar empire.

“Hence, legal documents are being crafted which take me completely out of business operations”, he said.

Mr. Trump, a real estate magnate who owns hotels and golf resorts from Panama to Scotland, said he will spell out at a December 15 news conference how he will separate himself “in total” from his worldwide business holdings, which include a winery, modeling agency and a range of other businesses.

Others criticised Trump for failing to his ownership – as opposed to control – of his businesses.

However, a blind trust only works if the office holder does not know how the trustee has invested the money, legal experts said.

President-elect Donald Trump will travel to OH to start a tour thanking voters with a visit to the U.S. Bank Arena in Cincinnati late Thursday. Trump said, as the crowd uniformly and loudly chanted “Lock her Up!”

“I’m going to need you to fight as hard for these proposals as you fought for this great campaign of ours”, he said. His pick for secretary of state remains up in the air, though aides say he has narrowed his choices to four.

Mnuchin and Ross said lower tax rates would be offset by reductions in the number of income tax deductions.

Trump tweeted about his travel plans. Some of them were even seen with him at his meetings with world leaders after the election.

He says “nobody has made better use on the internet” than he did, adding “Trump has done exactly the same thing”. “Our victory was so great, we have the House, we have the Senate, and we have the Presidency”, he told the cheering crowd.

“What he needs to do is get to the place where Trump’s interest in profit of any Trump entity is the same as my interest or your interest or the interest of the person on the street”, said Gillers.

The president-elect has vowed to cut corporate taxes and encourage multinational companies to repatriate their earnings, and plans to scrap the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reforms.

The rally in Cincinnati was the second stop on a victory lap through the Midwest on Thursday, coming hours after Trump saluted workers, owners and himself at a Carrier plant in Indiana. In a series of early morning tweets, he promised to hold a “major news conference” later this month.
