Trump ordered to begin the transfer of power to Biden
US President Donald Trump said he has ordered the General Services Administration (GSA) to “do what needs to be done” on the “initial protocols” for the transfer of power to Joe Biden, writes «РИА Новости».
Earlier, CNN TV channel reported that GSA and its head Emily Murphy recognized the Democratic candidate as the winner of the election and announced their readiness to begin the transfer of power.
“Our cause is moving forward strongly, we will continue to fight firmly, I am sure we will win! However, in the best interests of our country, I recommend that Emily (Murphy) and her team do whatever is necessary regarding the initial protocols, and I have told my team to do the same,” Trump wrote in Twitter.
He added that Murphy had been subjected to "insults, threats and mistreatment" for her "strong allegiance" to the United States.
“I don’t want this to happen to her or GSA employees,” Trump concluded.
Thus, the American leader again refused to admit defeat in the elections, although he allowed the beginning of formal procedures for the transfer of power. The Biden headquarters also noted that this issue has been finally resolved.
The next head of state will be sworn in on January 20, 2021.
