President-elect Donald Trump’s finances should be reviewed for potential conflicts of interest, the top Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee said Monday. Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, in a letter to his Republican counterpart, Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah, said Trump’s vast array of holdings needs scrutiny “We have never had a president like Mr. Trump in terms of his vast financial entanglements and his widespread business interests around the globe. Moreover, we have not had a presidential candidate in modern times who has refused to disclose his tax returns to the American people. Mr. Trump’s unprecedented secrecy and his extensive business dealings in foreign countries raise serious questions about how he intends to avoid conflicts of interest as president,” Cummings said in a letter.

If President-elect Donald Trump pressures Apple ( AAPL) to manufacture more iPhones in the U.S., the move would backfire because of higher costs, says an analyst. Apple's iPhone is manufactured in China by Taiwan-headquartered Foxconn and Pegatron. Brian White, analyst at Drexel Hamilton, says shifting iPhone production to the U.S. is "unrealistic." "Many consumers would no longer be able to afford to buy an iPhone due to higher manufacturing costs," said White in a research report. "Moreover, we believe finding the workers with the willingness and skill set to assemble an iPhone in the U.S. at the volume levels required by Apple would be an insurmountable task. In China, workers generally are young, live in a dorm on the manufacturing campus and work very long hours. "Even if the assembly of an iPhone occurred in the U.S., many of the components necessary to manufacture an iPhone are produced in China or elsewhere in Asia, thus shipment into the U.S. would prove costly."
