Manfred not concerned with Trump affecting MLB international plans

Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred opened his press conference Wednesday fielding a question about United States president-elect Donald Trump.

"It's been an interesting couple of weeks," Manfred said, according to The Associated Press. "Cubs won the World Series for the first time in 108 years. Donald Trump got elected president. Pretty interesting all the way around. So here we are."

Trump defeated Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton early Wednesday to become the 45th President of the United States. He'll begin his tenure in late January.

The Republican representative had been critical about immigration during his campaign, and promised he would build a wall between the United States and Mexico, making Mexico pay for it.

Despite his comments, Manfred believes there won't be any issues between Trump and MLB's operations in the foreseeable future.

"Haven't heard anything with respect to the Cuba issue that would suggest that there's going to be any change, and I think we're all familiar with things he said about Mexico," Manfred said. "I think we need to wait and see what actually happens."
