US President-elect Donald Trump has concluded his meeting with President Joe Biden at the White House, marking the beginning of the presidential transition process. The two leaders expressed their desire for a seamless transition after a gruelling campaign.
In another significant development, Senate Republicans have elected John Thune as their new majority leader, succeeding the retiring Senator Mitch McConnell.
Meanwhile, Trump has unveiled key appointments for his second term. Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, and Vivek Ramaswamy, a Republican politician, will jointly lead the newly established “Department of Government Efficiency”. This department aims to dismantle government bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, and cut wasteful expenditures. Trump described this initiative as potentially “The Manhattan Project” of our time.
Key Appointments in Trump’s Second Term:
- Department of Government Efficiency: Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy (co-leaders)
- Defense Secretary: Pete Hegseth, a Fox News host and Army veteran
- CIA Head: John Ratcliffe
These appointments provide insight into the shape of Trump’s second presidency, with a focus on streamlining government operations and introducing entrepreneurial approaches to governance
