The State Department is gearing up for the transition to the incoming Trump administration, with initial conversations set to take place on Monday. The department's spokesperson announced that they are prepared to support a successful transition and provide necessary resources to the new team.
The focus of the first meeting will be on logistics, as the incoming administration seeks information on available resources. This meeting will lay the groundwork for the transition process in the coming weeks, with an emphasis on prioritizing key areas of importance.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken and the President-elect's pick to lead the department, Sen. Marco Rubio, are planning to meet in person to discuss the transition further. While a date for this meeting has not been confirmed yet, both parties are looking forward to productive discussions.
