US President-elect Donald Trump arrived in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday for meetings with House Republicans and President Joe Biden. Trump will first meet with GOP leaders on Capitol Hill, followed by a scheduled discussion with Biden at the White House. In a significant move, Trump appointed Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to co-lead a new "Department of Government Efficiency," aimed at reducing bureaucracy. Fox News host Pete Hegseth has been selected as defense secretary, and John Ratcliffe will head the CIA, signaling the initial framework of Trump’s upcoming administration. Melania Trump declined to attend the White House visit.
