US president Donald Trump plans to unveil a new White House office to overhaul the federal bureaucracy and fulfill key campaign promises by harvesting ideas from the business world.

The office will be lead by Jared Kushner, a senior adviser to Trump who is married to his daughter Ivanka.

Viewed internally as a 'SWAT team' of strategic consultants, the office will be staffed by former business executives and is designed to infuse fresh thinking into Washington

“All Americans, regardless of their political views, can recognize that government stagnation has hindered our ability to properly function, often creating widespread congestion and leading to cost overruns and delays,” Trump said in a statement to The Washington Post.

“I promised the American people I would produce results, and apply my ‘ahead of schedule, under budget’ mentality to the government.”

The announcement of the new office comes at a humbling moment for the president, following Friday’s collapse of his first major legislative push — an overhaul of the health-care system, which Trump had championed as a candidate.

Some of the executives involved have criticized some of Trump’s policies, such as his travel ban, but said they are eager to help the administration address chronic problems.

Ivanka, who has a West Wing office but no official job, will be involved on issues she is focused on, such as workforce development.

A White House spokesperson confirmed the new office would be announced on Monday, but declined to provide additional details about its mission, CNN reported.
