US to build wall with Mexico to stop illegal migrants: Trump

US President-elect Donald Trump has said that he will simultaneously repeal and replace the signature health care programme of outgoing President Barack Obama. Addressing his first press conference in six months, Mr Trump alleged that Obamacare is a complete and total disaster. <br/>' <br/>He said pending negotiations with the Mexican government, his administration will immediately move ahead with its plan to construct a wall along the southern border to keep out illegal migrants and Mexico will reimburse it. Mr Trump said Vice President-elect Mike Pence is leading an effort to get final approvals through various agencies and through Congress for the wall to begin. But Mexico has said it will never pay for the wall.<br/>'<br/>Claiming that the US is least prepared in defending its cyber assets resulting in various countries, including Russia and China, Mr Trump vowed to come out with a major anti-hacking plan within 90 days after he assumes office on January 20. Responding to a series of questions on cyber hacking, in particular those from Russia, Mr Trump claimed, Moscow will have far greater respect for the US when he is leading it.<br/>'<br/>He asserted that he will be the greatest jobs producer that God ever created as the President-elect highlighted the new jobs he has been able to bring back to the country through private firms.<br/> '<br/>Mr Trump said he declined a business deal worth 2 billion US dollars in Dubai even though he is not obliged to do so as president. He said he has formally handed over complete control of his business empire to his two sons and they won't discuss its operations with him, in a move to avoid conflicts of interest once he assumes the office.<br/>

US to build wall with Mexico to stop illegal migrants: Trump

US President-elect Donald Trump today said his administration will soon build a massive border wall with Mexico to keep out illegal migrants and claimed that the cost of constructing the controversial structure would be reimbursed by the southern neighbour. <br/><br/>Mr Trump said this during his first press conference in six months. He said he don't feel like waiting a year or a year and a half to start building. Trump said he will not blame Mexican government for taking advantage of the US in the past. However, he said under his watch, things will change. He had promised to deport millions of undocumented Mexican migrants from the United States if he elected.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Mexico's new foreign minister today said that there is "no way" that his country will pay for the wall. Luis Videgaray, who was appointed by President Enrique Pena Nieto last week to seek "constructive" relations with the Trump administration, told the Televisa network that Mexico will not cede on issues related to national sovereignty.<br/><br/>The Republican real estate billionaire, who assumes office on January 20, has threatened to fund the giant wall by tapping into the billions of dollars in remittances that Mexican migrants in the US send back home.<br/><br/>Trump asserted that he would be the "greatest jobs producer that God ever created". He said he is going to create jobs and he is going to work very hard on this front. He told reporters that a lot of car companies are going to be moving in. <br/><br/>He also emphasised on getting the drug industry back. The 70-year-old leader claimed that his administration is working with other industries as well.<br/><br/>Donald Trump said he had formally handed over complete control of his business empire to his two sons and they won't discuss its operations with him, in a move to avoid conflicts of interest once he assumes the office. <br/><br/>He said his sons- Donald Jr. and Eric- are going to be running the company in a very professional manner. Trump said this surrounded by his sons, daughter and son-in-law. <br/>'<br/>Trump said his organization's business will continue to pursue deals in the US. He disclosed that over the weekend he was offered two billion US Dollar to do a number of deals in Dubai but he turned it down even though he was not required to do so.<br/>'<br/>The press conference comes nine days before Trump is set to be sworn in as the 45th president of the US and nearly a month after Trump cancelled his last scheduled news conference.<br/>
