Sec­re­tary of State Mike Pom­peo does not offi­cial­ly rec­og­nize Joe Biden’s elec­tion vic­to­ry, but his min­istry can­not refuse to go through the tran­si­tion process either. On Wednes­day (local time), the agency announced that mem­bers of Biden’s tran­si­tion team had arrived to pre­pare for the han­dover. A For­eign Min­istry team will ensure they have infor­ma­tion and logis­ti­cal sup­port, includ­ing secu­ri­ty clear­ances, legal issues, human resources and infor­ma­tion man­age­ment. Pom­peo him­self addressed the staff of the Min­istry of For­eign Affairs with a mes­sage on Wednes­day, which also dealt with elec­tion day — but did not com­ment on the out­come of the election.

Trump asks MPs from Penn­syl­va­nia to the White House
Actu­al­ly, Trump’s pri­vate attor­ney Rudy Giu­liani and pos­si­bly also the pres­i­dent him­self want­ed to trav­el to Penn­syl­va­nia on Wednes­day to attend a “hear­ing”. Sub­ject: The alle­ga­tions of alleged elec­toral fraud in the state. Because of anoth­er coro­na case in Trump’s elec­tion cam­paign team, the trip had to be can­celed. But the los­er stays tuned: Trump has invit­ed Repub­li­can MPs from Penn­syl­va­nia to the White House for the evening. He had already called in for the meet­ing in Penn­syl­va­nia. The out­go­ing pres­i­dent, on the oth­er hand, seems to be less inter­est­ed in gov­ern­ment busi­ness, he did not make any pub­lic appear­ances today.

ECB vice prais­es des­ig­nat­ed US Trea­sury Secretary
ECB Vice-Pres­i­dent Luis de Guin­dos wel­comes the nom­i­na­tion of for­mer US Fed­er­al Reserve Chair­man Janet Yellen as future US Trea­sury Sec­re­tary by US Pres­i­dent-elect Joe Biden. “The appoint­ment of Janet is good news for the US and the glob­al econ­o­my,” said deputy head of the ECB Chris­tine Lagarde at the vir­tu­al press con­fer­ence of the Euro­pean Cen­tral Bank (ECB) on the pub­li­ca­tion of the finan­cial sta­bil­i­ty report. “Janet Yellen knows per­fect­ly what the US econ­o­my needs. She is per­fect­ly aware of the impli­ca­tions that US eco­nom­ic pol­i­cy will have for the world econ­o­my,” said de Guindos.

Biden crit­i­cizes the pres­i­dent direct­ly, Trump replies: “You cheated”
The elect­ed US Pres­i­dent Joe Biden has indi­rect­ly crit­i­cized incum­bent Don­ald Trump for his ques­tion­ing of the elec­tion results. “Our democ­ra­cy has been put to the test this year,” said Biden, speak­ing before Thanks­giv­ing in Wilm­ing­ton. “In Amer­i­ca we have full and fair and free elec­tions. And then we accept the results.” Trump, mean­while, stuck to his unfound­ed account of hav­ing won the pres­i­den­tial elec­tion. “The elec­tion was lost by the Democ­rats. They cheat­ed,” said Trump via audio switch at a meet­ing of Repub­li­can sen­a­tors in the US state of Penn­syl­va­nia. “We have to turn the election.”

In view of a “dra­mat­ic increase” in new coro­na infec­tions, Biden also called for a “dou­bling” of efforts to con­tain the pan­dem­ic in the speech. Many Amer­i­cans are already tired of the top­ic, but because of the harsh coro­na win­ter ahead, it is now the time to arm them­selves with new deter­mi­na­tion, demand­ed the future US pres­i­dent. “We have months ahead of us in this fight,” said Biden.
