Senator Marco Rubio is expected to be his future secretary of state, sources told the BBC's US partner, CBS News. But the pick is not yet confirmed. Military veteran Michael Waltz is the favourite for Trump's national security adviser, CBS adds.

According to the same network, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem could also play a significant role in Trump's government - as homeland security secretary.

Rubio and Waltz's offices have not responded to the BBC's request for comment.

Trump's administration is starting to take shape after his win in last week's presidential election.
