Two weeks after his shocking election victory, US President-elect Donald Trump has indicated a u-turn on several of his key poll promises and rhetoric, including his hardline on climate change, torture of detainees and his vow to jail Hillary Clinton. During an interview with reporters and editors of The New York Times, Trump threw enough hints that he would be an unconventional president in terms of distancing himself from his business, receiving inputs from family members in his governance and relationship with the press. He held out assurances that he did not intend to embrace extremist positions in some areas, the daily said after the interview with Trump, who “vigorously denounced” a white nationalist conference last weekend in Washington.
