US President-elect Donald Trump planned to meet with Vice President-elect Mike Pence in New York to discuss key appointments as moderate Republican Mike Rogers was abandoned from the transition team.

Mr. Rogers said in a statement that, “Our work will provide a strong foundation for the new transition team leadership as they move into the post-election phase, which naturally is incorporating the campaign team in New York who drove President-elect Trump to an incredible victory last Tuesday.”

Mr. Rogers served on the transition team for six months, led by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. I will continue to advise Trump, he said.

Trump spokesman Jason Miller said that, Mr. Trump and Mr. Pence are expected to “reviewing a number of names for key jobs” during the meeting at Trump Tower in New York.

“If the vice president-elect is getting together with the president-elect to discuss names, then I would say that it's serious, obviously,” he said.
