Trump's Ethics Standoff Stalls Transition Planning

Donald Trump's team has delayed signing crucial agreements for the transition process with the Biden administration, missing deadlines set by the Presidential Transition Act. These agreements, which include ethics requirements, are essential for a smooth transfer of power and national security. Despite the delays, Trump can still assume office in January 2025, but his administration may not be ready to govern effectively from day one. The situation has raised concerns about potential risks to national security and the orderly transfer of executive power.
