MNI POLITICAL RISK - Trump's First Post Election Interview

Daily round-up of news from the US.
StoryPolitical Risk

Executive summary:

  • US President-elect Donald Trump gave his first network media interview since winning the presidential election, speaking to NBC’s Meet the Press in a Sunday broadcast. 
  • Trump said: He has no plans to replace Fed Chair Jerome Powell; he would do something "very strong, very powerful" on border security and tax reform in his first 100 days, and he has communicated with Chinese President Xi Jinping since winning the election.
  • Congressional leaders released the final draft text of the National Defense Authorization Act on Saturday, teeing up a vote on the House floor this week. The final NDAA text fails to include a package of bills that would have codified a Biden executive order restricting US investment in certain high-tech sectors in China. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) may include the China package in a Continuing Resolution to fund the government beyond December 20.
  • Trump met trilaterally with French President Emmanuel Macron and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Paris yesterday, calling after the meeting for "an immediate ceasefire" in Ukraine.
  • President Biden and President-elect Trump both weighed in on the collapse of the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad, with Biden committing to preventing the return of ISIS and Trump warning "DO NOT GET INVOLVED!”
  • Trump's Special Envoy to the Middle East Steven Witkoff said it will not be "a pretty day" if Israeli hostages in Gaza aren't freed before Trump's inauguration. 
  • Poll of the Day: A majority of Americans approve of the Affordable Care Act.
