Trump says he ‘would consider’ raising the federal minimum wage – NBC

“President-elect Donald Trump says there’s a ‘level at which you could’ raise the federal minimum wage, but he would want to speak to governors first during an exclusive interview with Meet the Press.”

Trump also raised concerns about how the impact of a higher national standard might vary due to state and regional differences in wages and the cost of living.
