Washington - President-elect Donald Trump says he will not accept a salary as US president.

"I'm not taking it," Trump said in an interview with CBS. He said it was the first time he had ever responded to the question about the 400,000-dollar salary paid to the US president.

Trump also again said he would release his tax returns when an audit had finished. He came under pressure during the campaign for not releasing the tax data, but he said he thought the public had never cared.
