President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump engaged in a historic meeting at the White House, marking a peaceful transfer of power amidst the backdrop of the recent election. Trump expressed gratitude for the smooth transition while moving to assemble his new administration, focusing on loyal allies from his MAGA movement rather than establishment figures. Key appointments include Thomas Homan as 'border czar' to oversee deportations and Susie Wiles as chief of staff, despite her controversial past involving classified documents. The Biden administration continues to emphasize national security risks from climate change, while Trump plans immediate actions to reverse Biden's policies on gender treatments for minors. As the House balance remains uncertain, Trump’s team is actively seeking to secure Republican leadership positions. The political landscape is charged as both administrations prepare for significant shifts in policy direction.
