Trump's son Eric says will be wall between family firm and government

The Trump Organization, Donald Trump's family business, will have a "very large wall" separating its business activity from the U.S. government, the president-elect's son, Eric Trump, said in an interview with Reuters in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday.

He emphasized that the family has learned from past experiences and would ensure no conflicts of interest, with the business being managed by a robust team of executives and lawyers.
