Live/ Anti-Trump demonstrations in New York and Washington. Biden welcomes Trump to the White House on Wednesday

US President Joe Biden will receive Donald Trump, who will succeed him in January, at the White House, on Wednesday at 4:00 p.m., in the Oval Office, his spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre announced today.

Joe Biden promised on Thursday to ensure a “peaceful and orderly” transfer of power with Republican Donald Trump, who won a clear victory on Tuesday against Democrat Kamala Harris.

The meeting will serve to prepare the arrival of the next Trump administration, in which figures such as businessman Elon Musk or Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could play important roles.

This meeting had already been announced, but without a specific date.

Democrat Jacky Rosen won re-election to the Senate for the state of Nevada, according to projections published by several North American media.

The Republicans have already won the majority in the Senate, so the elections do not change this balance of forces. But for Democrats it means keeping a seat in an eagerly anticipated race.

The state of Arizona continues to count votes and so far, according to CNN, Trump leads with 52.7% (Harris has 46.3%), at a time when 83% of the votes have been counted .

If Trump wins this state, it means he won all seven “decisive” states (those oscillating states).

Republicans are also ahead in elections to the House of Representatives, the lower house of Congress, having regained their majority in the Senate.

In the race for 435 seats, Republicans have 213 and Democrats 204. To have a majority, 218 seats are needed.

CNN advances that in addition to participating in the conversation between the president-elect and the Ukrainian president, Elon Musk also participated in other calls made by Donald Trump: including some in which he considered decisions for the composition of his team.

This participation demonstrates “the influence that Musk could have on the new administration,” CNN assesses. Musk has been with Trump at Mar-a-Lago several times since election night.

The president-elect of the United States, Donald Trump, won the elections in the city of Springfield (Ohio), which became famous during the campaign for the misinformation promoted by the Republican magnate himself about Haitian immigrants who ate dogs and cats.

Trump obtained 49.7% of the votes compared to 49.1% for Democrat Kamala Harris, a victory of just 135 votes, but significant because it occurred in one of the main epicenters of the electoral campaign. Four years ago, the current president, Democrat Joe Biden, obtained 1,800 more votes than Trump.

Trump insisted that Haitian immigrants eat dogs and cats. Immigrant community criticizes anti-immigration rhetoric

The president-elect took advantage of the ‘scenario’ during his face to face with Harris to affirm that in the city of Springfield “the people who arrived”, in reference to the Haitians, are eating “the pets of the people who live there.”

This is misinformation that circulated during the election campaign on social media, which caught the attention of the country’s main media outlets and was echoed, for example, by billionaire Elon Musk, a Trump ally.

The “fake news” was spread and shared despite the fact that local authorities, such as the mayor himself, Republican Rob Rue, denied the suspicions.

President-elect Donald Trump’s team is analyzing the possibility of ending two programs implemented by the Biden administration that allowed the legal entry of 1.3 million immigrants. This will mean that anyone who has entered but has not yet been formally granted asylum will be able to be deported. The news is reported by NBC, based on two sources familiar with the Republican team’s plans.

The exact number of people who could be deported is unknown, but it could be hundreds of thousands. The same sources indicated that the new administration’s plans may begin by prioritizing the departure of people considered threats, possibly men of Chinese nationality who may be old enough to perform military service and are outside China illegally.

Priority may also be given to the deportation of convicts who are illegally in the United States and those who already have a deportation order.

Immigrants who arrived in the US through the Biden administration’s two programs can escape deportation if they have already formally obtained asylum or are in the process of obtaining it, or have another legal status that allows them to remain in the US. If they do not have this status, they may be deported, but they will not be a priority group in this process.

Iran today described as “totally unfounded” US accusations that Tehran is involved in assassination plots in the United States, targeting in particular President-elect Donald Trump.

“The spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Esmail Baghai, considers it completely unfounded and rejects the accusations that Iran is involved in an assassination attempt on former or current American officials,” says a statement from Iranian diplomacy.

The US Justice Department on Friday filed criminal charges over a foiled Iranian plot to kill Donald Trump ahead of this week’s election.

A criminal complaint filed in Manhattan federal court alleges that an unnamed employee of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard instructed a member last September in a plan to surveil and ultimately kill Trump.

If the man, identified as Farjad Shakeri, failed to create a plan before the election, according to the complaint, Iran would suspend his plan for some time, as it was believed that Trump would lose the presidential election, making him an easier target to shoot. . below.
