An unidentified Trump national security advisor said, “The machinery of government is going to have to keep grinding as best it can,” but warned that Obama and his aides shouldn’t go seeking new adventures or pushing through policies that clearly don’t match Trump’s positions, according to a report in Politico on Thursday.

The advisor pointed out that in Israel there are worries that Obama may make a move against Israel in the UN Security Council. One possible move is recognizing a Palestinian State.

Obama may also try to push the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal through Congress, which Trump opposes.

The advisor told Politico, “I don’t think it’s in keeping with the spirit of the transition … to try to push through agenda items that are contrary to the president-elect’s positions.”

Obama said that he wants to make sure the transition process is successful.
