Pres. Trump promotes economic agenda

U.S. President Donald Trump says he's pleased with the January report on employment in the U.S.

The U.S. Labor Department says 227,000 jobs were created and the unemployment rate remains at 4.8 percent.

None of this was the new president's doing, but he's happy with the results.

IN: "Two hundred, twenty seven...
OUT: ...even sooner."
DUR: 25


During a meeting with corporate executives, President Trump promised to completely change the Dodd-Frank Act which was designed to make sure there was not another financial sector meltdown as the U.S. saw in 2008.

President Trump said JP Morgan's Jamie Dimon is most familiar with the problems of the legislation.

IN: "There's nobody better.
OUT: ...banking industry."
