Trump wants to withdraw from companies

The future US President Donald Trump wants to withdraw completely from his company empire. The move was not legally mandatory, but he wanted to concentrate fully on the state business.

The 70-year-old wrote on Twitter. "The presidency is by far the most important task," said Trump. Legal documents would be created to "take him out entirely from business operations," he wrote.

Trump announced a press conference in New York together with his children for 15 December to announce details. At first he had planned to use his children as a trustee.
