United States: Donald Trump gives the green light to the transition process

 

Donald Trump continues to blow hot and cold on American politics. More than two weeks after the announcement of his defeat in the US presidential election, the Republican gave the green light on Monday, November 23, 2020 to the opening of the process of transition to a Biden administration. The Democrat’s team immediately took note of a step allowing “a peaceful and smooth transfer of power”.

The outgoing Republican president was careful not to directly recognize the victory of Joe Biden, promising to continue a “fair fight” while he multiplies the legal remedies, without success, to try to demonstrate fraud during the ballot of the 3 November. “Nonetheless, in the best interests of our country, I recommend” that the government agency in charge of the transfer of power do “what is necessary regarding the protocols, and I have asked my team to do the same”, he tweeted.

…fight, and I believe we will prevail! Nevertheless, in the best interest of our Country, I am recommending that Emily and her team do what needs to be done with regard to initial protocols, and have told my team to do the same.
