U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has not submitted a pledge to prevent conflicts of interest, which could disrupt the transition of the regime, the New York Times reported.

Under the presidential transition law, Trump's transition team had to submit an ethics plan to the White House on how to resolve conflicts of interest during his tenure, but it failed to do so.

Earlier in January 2017, when Trump was first elected president, he declared that he would not sell his business assets or trust them to an independent manager, creating conflict of interest concerns.

In addition, Trump's transition team is not following other procedures needed to transfer power, such as signing a memorandum of understanding to receive $7.2 million in funding for the acquisition and not signing a memorandum of understanding to provide sensitive information.

The New York Times said there is a fight between Trump's transition team, which holds out without submitting an ethics plan, and the Biden administration, which is demanding an ethics plan.
