PALM BEACH, Florida: In his first news conference since his election victory six weeks ago, President-elect Donald Trump covered the Ukraine war, mysterious drones flying over New Jersey, the future of TikTok and lawsuits aimed at the media he often loves to hate.
US President-elect Donald Trump listens to a question from a reporter after delivering remarks at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, on Dec 16, 2024.
He seemed wiser to the ways of Washington and pleased, if a little bit puzzled, about his own new place in it, marvelling at the steady procession of foreign leaders wanting to congratulate him and corporate CEOs rushing to meet with him. Advisers say he has been focused on choosing members of his Cabinet and his broader team who are expected to carry out his plans to dramatically overhaul government and US policy.
Trump said"it would be a tragedy" if his choice for defence secretary, former Fox News personality Pete Hegseth, does not make it to Senate confirmation amid concerns about allegations of misconduct in his professional and personal life.
