Trump Authorizes to Begin Transfer of Power to Biden

The US General Services Administration is ready to launch the transfer of presidential power in the country. The incumbent US President Donald Trump, who for several weeks refused to concede his loss to the Democratic Party candidate Joseph Biden in the US elections, eventually agreed to act in accordance with protocol. Earlier, the US General Services Administration announced its readiness to begin the transition process. The head of department, Emily Murphy, wrote about this in a letter to President-elect Biden on Monday, November 23 (November 24, Moscow time). Donald Trump responded to the event on his Twitter, “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 do the same,” Trump tweeted. Joe Biden was declared the winner of the US presidential election by the American media on November 7 on the basis of available data - by that time the majority of the votes had already been counted. The official results of state ballot processing will be announced in December. The inauguration ceremony of the new president is to take place on January 20. The current President of the United States, Donald Trump, still does not officially acknowledge his defeat, claiming that the presidential election results were rigged. He initiated a series of lawsuits to seek reconsideration of voting results in several states.
