World Business ReportAvailable for over a year
As Donald Trump reveals more names of the people he wants to join his cabinet we are getting a better picture of the shape of the next administration in the White House. Mr Trump's choice of Rick Perry, a former governor of oil rich Texas, to lead the Department of Energy and his decision to nominate Rex Tillerson, the chief executive of ExxonMobil, as Secretary of State are controversial. The President-elect also wants a former Goldman Sachs banker, Steven Mnuchin, for Treasury Secretary. American economic commentator, Irwin Stelzer, analyses what these choices signal about how Donald Trump might govern. (Picture: Donald Trump in Wisconsin. Getty Images.)
