WASHINGTON, Nov. 28 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's transition team said Monday that he will be meeting with former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and former CIA director David Petraeus, who are both believed to be running for the secretary of state position.
The meetings with Petraeus and Romney will be on Monday and Tuesday respectively, the team said in a routine conference call.
A meeting with another possible pick, Senate Foreign Relations Committee chair Bob Corker, is also scheduled for Tuesday.
"The president-elect is really taking these meetings very seriously," Trump spokesman Jason Miller said.
The development came at a time when the race for the top U.S. diplomatic post is heating up and creating rifts among Trump's inner circle.
Kellyanne Conway, Trump's former campaign manager, openly questioned Romney's loyalty Sunday, allegedly drawing ire from other Trump advisors who deemed Conway's action "dangerous."
Romney has been a fierce critic of Trump during the election, but proponents say selecting him would go along way in showing that Trump is ready to mend fences with past adversaries.
Petraeus served as the director of the Central Intelligence Agency from 2011 to 2012, he resigned after the FBI looked into an affair he had with his biographer that had involved mishandling of confidential information.
Corker, 64, has been an U.S. Senator representing Tennessee since 2006.
Former New York City mayor and long time Trump supporter Rudy Giuliani is also publicly pursuing the sought-after position.
THE government has “basically exited” from its curbs on irrational outbound investment deals http://www.cheapshoesukwholesale.com , Pan Gongsheng, the head of China’s foreign exchange regulator, was quoted by media as saying yesterday.
“At the end of last year, several departments took phased measures to control irrational outbound direct investment Cheap Adidas Shoes Online , and so far they have basically exited (from such measures),” Chinese financial news outlet Yicai quoted Pan, head of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, as saying.
China’s non-financial outbound direct investment in the January-October period slumped 40.9 percent year on year to US$86.31 billion as authorities bear down on what they say are speculative foreign ventures.
The decline in outbound investment reflected the government’s restrictive measures and “a gradual maturation and return to the rationality of external investment by market players Cheap Adidas Stan Smith Shoes ,” Pan said.
The government said it continues to encourage genuine overseas deals but has vowed to limit overseas investment in property, hotels, entertainment, sports clubs and film industries which were suspected to be more speculative.
China also said it encourages overseas investment by qualified companies as they integrate into the global industrial and value chains and support investment by firms involved in Belt and Road Initiative projects Cheap Adidas Superstar Shoes , while taking steps to curb investment risks.
Last week, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) issued draft guidelines for its companies investing overseas, streamlining approval processes for deals while raising oversight for projects in sensitive sectors and countries.
The NDRC warned that the government will record and tally instances of laws and regulations being broken in China or abroad, and offenders would be punished.
In addition to illegal activities Cheap Adidas NMD Shoes , the guidelines specifically say actions that “violate international conventions and U.N. resolutions, or that disrupt foreign economic cooperation, adversely impact the Belt and Road initiative, or harm China’s reputation Cheap Adidas Shoes China ,” will be recorded.
The guidelines also focus on monitoring cross-border capital flows by insisting overseas deals are reasonable and disclosures are accurate.
Companies or individuals that break rules will be penalized in various ways, according to the guidelines.(SD-Agencies)
