US President-elect Donald Trump campaigned on a number of issues, from immigration to oil production, which he promised to tackle on “Day One”.
Host Steve Clemons talks with Tevi Troy, former deputy secretary in the cabinet of Republican former President George W. Bush, and Niall Stanage, White House columnist for The Hill.
