Donald Trump rows back on Obamacare repeal pledge

As Donald Trump assembles his White House team there is speculation over whether any of his family members, many of whom played large roles in his election campaign, will be picked for political positions.

ITV News' Penny Marshall reports from New York.

The management of Donald Trump's business portfolio will be transferred to his children Donald Trump Jr, Ivanka and Eric and a team of executives, ahead of the newly elected president assuming office.

"This is a top priority at the organization and the structure that is ultimately selected will comply with all applicable rules and regulations," a spokesperson for the Trump Organization said in a statement.

Involvement with Trump's businesses will likely preclude the Trump children from taking positions in their father's cabinet.

Donald Trump has put vice-president-elect Mike Pence at the head of his transition team, in place of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, the New York Times has reported.

Mr Pence, a former legislator, has deep ties in Washington and The Times reported sources as saying Mr Trump wants to use those contacts to move the transition process along.

Donald Trump's election poses risks for the relationship between the EU and the United States, EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker has said.

"We will need to teach the president-elect what Europe is and how it works," he told an audience of students, adding that Americans usually had no interest in Europe.

Following Mr Trump's election win,a statement from Mr Juncker congratulated the 45th US president on his victory and invited him to attend an EU-US summit "at your earliest convenience".

Barack Obama used his Armistice Day speech to called on Americans to draw strength from their diversity, but protests over Donald Trump's election win show many minority groups fear what a Trump presidency may bring.
