President-elect Donald Trump took to YouTube on Monday to outline his plan for the first 100 days in office.
- President-elect Trump outlines 5 proposals for 1st 100 days
- Proposals cover trade deals, environmental restrictions, visas
- Trump continued meeting with prospective cabinet members
On the agenda: plans he should be able to accomplish without needing congressional approval.
They include:
- Withdrawing from Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations
- Canceling President Barack Obama's environmental restrictions
- Have Department of Labor investigate federal worker visas
- Impose broad new lobbying bans for federal employees
- Direct national security team to fortify against cyberattacks
"As part of this plan, I've asked my transition team to develop a list of executive actions we can take on day one to restore our laws and bring back our jobs," Trump said.
Trump promised to have the TPP replaced with "fair bilateral trade deals." He also said he would investigate all abuses of visa programs.
Trump also said he would lift restrictions on energy production, including shale and coal. Another rule would only allow for the implementation of a new regulation if two regulations are removed as well.
The head of the Environmental Protection Agency, Gina McCarthy, said in a speech Monday that despite Trump's proposals, he will not be able to undo the "spectacular" advancements by Obama in imposing environmental rules and helping create thousands of jobs in renewable energy such as wind and solar power.
Campaign promises not mentioned in the video are those that will require congressional support: repealing the Affordable Care Act, building a wall along the Mexican border, new restrictions on immigration from majority Muslim countries and a $1 trillion infrastructure plan.
Republicans hold majorities in the House and Senate, though Democrats do have some room in the Senate to block measures they do not approve of.
Each of those plans are fraught with their own challenges. In the case of ACA, even if lawmakers are able to completely repeal the law, any changes would take time to be applied while Republicans craft the replacement, which could take years.
Trump, meanwhile, spent Monday meeting with elite Republicans, at least some of whom confirmed they were looking for jobs.
Former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown said he would be excellent as Veterans Affairs secretary.
Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin said she had a wonderful conversation with Trump. She's thought to be a candidate for Interior secretary.
Trump also met with former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich and Hawaii Democratic. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard.
But the media were clearly on his mind as he met with executives and on-air personalities from TV networks. He frequently singled out the media declaring them "so dishonest" for criticism during the campaign, but it's not unusual for presidents to hold off-the-record meetings with journalists when trying to promote policies or programs.
Among the attendees were NBC anchor Lester Holt and "Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd, ABC's "Good Morning America" host George Stephanopoulos and anchor David Muir, CBS' "Face the Nation" host John Dickerson, CNN's Wolf Blitzer and several executives at the networks.
None of the attendees would discuss the meeting with reporters in the lobby, though senior adviser Kellyanne Conway said it was "very cordial, very productive, very congenial."
