It was a busy night in the US. Donald Trump has announced a number of major appointments - here they are in brief:
- Elon Musk and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy have been tasked with leading a new "Department of Government Efficiency", which will "provide advice and guidance from outside of government" on cutting spending and regulations
- South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has been chosen as Homeland Security Secretary
- The position of Defence Secretary has gone to Pete Hegseth, an Army veteran and Fox News host
- Property developer Steve Witkoff - Trump's long-time golf partner and a major campaign donor - has been named as special envoy to the Middle East, while former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee will be nominated as ambassador to Israel
Later, Joe Biden and Trump are due to meet at the White House and Republicans in the Senate will pick its next leader.
On top of that, we could finally find out who will get a majority in the House, where the Republicans are a couple of seats short of control.
