Trump Suggests He’ll Keep Running Businesses

“Donald Trump indicated he was unlikely to disentangle himself from his business empire as fully as he previously suggested, raising questions about potential conflicts of interest while president,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Mr. Trump and his representatives said during the campaign he would have nothing to do with his businesses if he became president, promising a ‘total and complete separation.’ But since the election, Mr. Trump has met with foreign business partners and involved daughter Ivanka Trump in such discussions, even though he has said his children will run his companies during the presidency as a way to separate their operations from the White House.”
