President-elect Donald Trump vowed to start the U.S. withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, institute a five-year ban on federal officials lobbying after leaving government, and cancel “job-killing” regulations on energy production within his first 100 days in office.

Trump detailed executive actions he can take “on day one” -- as soon as he is sworn in as president in January -- in a video released Monday. He included a proposal that “for every one new regulation, two old regulations must be eliminated.”
