Former Republican candidate Ben Carson, who suspended his campaign after Super Tuesday primaries in March, said he was in "discussions" about a possible Cabinet position in Donald Trump’s administration.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Trump won the 2016 US presidential election with 290 electoral votes, while his rival Hillary Clinton received 232 votes despite winning the popular vote by a margin of over 200,000, according to CNN. The inauguration is due on January 20, 2017.

"We’re having discussions. You know my goal in all of this is not so much a Cabinet position or any type of government position, but to really help America move in the right direction, to make an environment where our children have the same kind of opportunities," Carson said in an interview with the Fox channel's "Fox & Friends."

At least eleven politicians have been tapped to join US President-elect Donald Trump's team amid speculation that dealing with the line-up will be no easy task, according to the Russian online newspaper Gazeta.r - Sputnik International
