How is Donald Trump going to avoid damaging conflict conflicts of interest once he takes up his position as America's next president? A planned press conference was scheduled for this week on the matteris . It's now being canceledcancelled. Mr . Trump would only say via his tweeter Twitter feed that no new deal will deals would be done while he was he's in the White House. That adds to an earlier pledge he made, that he will would step down from the day-to-day management of his far-flung global business empire. Still, many say those measures don't go far enough. So , what are the precedents for how presidents deal with their business affairs once in office? A question for Norman Eisen, who is was the Chief White House Ethics Lawyer for the Obama administration.

Ever since the passage of the Ethics in Government Act in 1978 that American presidents have utilised utilized what we refer to as a qualified blind trust or the equivalent. That means that they take their business interest interests, and they give them to the trustee to dispose of, convert it into cash. , and then reinvest behind the wallet a wall of blindness. So the president doesn't know what his investments are, in order to avoid conflicts. As long as the president has investments known to him and othersyou , you'll always have the risk that his judgement judgment will be distorted . or others will reach out in an and attempt to use his investments to influence him.

譯文

当唐纳德·特朗普真正宣誓就职美国下任总统时，他如何避免利益冲突带来的损害？本周原定关于该主题的一次记者招待会被取消了。特朗普本人只在他的推特上发文称其在白宫期间不会达成新的交易事项。这也呼应了其前不久的誓言，即他将退出对其遍布全球的商业帝国的实时管控。但仍有很多人认为这一举措不可能持久。那么以前那些成为总统的人是如何处理他们的经济事项的呢？我们请来了奥巴马政府的白宫首席道德律师，诺尔曼·艾森。 自从1978年美国政府道德法案得以通过，美国总统可以充分利用我们所说的合乎标准的保密信托或类似手段。这意味着他们将剥离这些商业利益，并置于信托人处理，转换为现金，再背对背地进行二次投资。所以美国总统们不会知道他们投资于何处，就是为了避免冲突。只要总统们或其他人知悉这些投资，总统的判断就很有可能被左右，或者其他人将利用这些投资游说总统意图影响他。
