PLANS IN OFFICE

During the campaign, Trump promised to overhaul Obamacare, which he has listed as his top priority once he takes office.

However, after winning the election, Trump seems to have moved somewhat away from a full repeal, saying he would favor keeping some parts of the law, including the plank barring insurers from denying coverage based on preexisting conditions and the provision of the law that allows children to stay on their parents' health plans until the age of 26.

Earlier this month, Trump unveiled his first 100-day plan in office, which is topped by withdrawing from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and creating jobs.

"I'm going to issue a notification of intent to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a potential disaster for our country," Trump said.

"Instead, we'll negotiate fair bilateral trade deals that bring jobs and industry onto American shores," he added.

Rebuilding the U.S. middle class is a priority of his new policies, Trump said.

Other initiatives boosting job numbers include loosening regulations on the energy sector.

Political reform is also high on the agenda, with Trump having pledged to "drain the swamp" in Washington.

On foreign policy, Trump's remarks on U.S.-Cuba ties have highlighted the speculations on American foreign policy under the new administration.

On Monday, Trump tweeted that he might "terminate" the thaw in U.S.-Cuba relations initiated by Obama.

"If Cuba is unwilling to make a better deal for the Cuban people, the Cuban/American people and the U.S. as a whole, I will terminate deal," he said.

During his campaign, Trump derided Obama's new Cuba policy as "weak," and said he would pursue a "better deal" that benefits Washington.

However, U.S. media reported that Trump's aides said that nothing on Cuba has been decided.
