President-elect Donald Trump has yet to submit transition agreements with President Joe Biden's administration, citing concerns over the mandatory ethics pledge aimed at avoiding conflicts of interest once in office. Trump's past business dealings have faced scrutiny for potential conflicts of interest, particularly his foreign business ties.
A source familiar with the process revealed that negotiations are ongoing with the Biden administration regarding the ethics agreement, a requirement under the Presidential Transition Act. The ethics pledge was updated by Trump ally Sen. Ron Johnson and signed into law by Trump in March 2020.
