Trump met outgoing president, Joe Biden, at the White House - to symbolise the peaceful transfer of power. He has spoken to world leaders including Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. He has also met a number of influential business leaders at his Florida resort Mar-a-Lago, including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, OpenAI's Sam Altman, TikTok's Shou Zi Chew and Apple's Tim Cook. Ahead of the inauguration, the president-elect and his team have received classified national security briefings covering current threats and ongoing military operations. Trump has also nominated more than two dozen people to fill key roles, some of whom are controversial. These include Fox News presenter and military veteran Pete Hesgeth as defence secretary. Since his nomination, Hesgeth has faced questions about his qualifications - and a past sexual assault allegation has surfaced. He denies any wrongdoing. Trump's pick for health secretary is Robert F Kennedy Jr, who has repeatedly stated widely debunked claims about vaccine harm. Trump nominated his long time ally Pam Bondi to be attorney general. His first choice, former Congressman Matt Gaetz, withdrew after facing intense scrutiny over allegations - which he denies - of wrongdoing, related to drugs, bribes and sex. Trump's picks for cabinet roles must be approved by the US Senate.
