WASHINGTON, Jan. 11 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said Wednesday that he has taken steps to separate himself and his business empire.
"My two sons, who are right here, Don and Eric, are going to be running the company," Trump said in his first press conference since winning the election.
"They are going to be running it in a very professional manner. They are not going to discuss it with me," Trump said as he pointed to a pile of paper beside his podium, describing as some of the documents he signed turning over "complete and total control" to his sons.
Sheri Dillion, an attorney tasked by Trump to isolate him from this businesses, said Trump's investments and business assets have been or will be conveyed to a trust prior to Jan. 20, when he takes office.
The trust will operate without Trump's influence and dictates that all deals should go through ethics vetting and that there will be no foreign deals.
