President-elect Biden Remarks
President-elect Biden delivered remarks in Wilmington, Delaware, after meeting with members of his national security team. The president-elect outlined his vision for American foreign policy and the national security challenges he would face upon assuming office the following month. He criticized the Trump administration, particularly the political leadership of the Defense Department and the Office of Management and Budget, for “roadblocks” in the transition process. “Right now, we just aren’t getting all the information that we need from the outgoing administration in key national security areas,” he said. “It’s nothing short, in my view, of irresponsibility.” President-elect Biden said he was clear-eyed about the challenges ahead but that the U.S. would “reclaim its credibility to lead the free world.” The president-elect began his remarks by addressing the Christmas Day bombing in Nashville.

CNN Analyst Slams Biden for Calling Out Trump Admin Transition Stonewalling: ‘I Don’t Care If the President’s Team Is a Pain in the A**,’ Just ‘Let It Go’
Dec. 29 - CNN counterterrorism analyst Phil Mudd took issue with President-elect Joe Biden publicly calling out the Trump administration for “roadblocks” and “obstruction” in the transition process.
Biden, in a national security speech on Monday, commended many people across the administration for their professionalism in helping out the transition, but he made a point of adding that they haven’t received that kind of courtesy from political leadership at the Defense Department and Office of Management and BUdget.
After the speech, Jake Tapper asked Mudd “how much of a problem could this be” that people are refusing to cooperate with them.
Mudd responded, “I would say modest.”
He went on to talk about the national security and foreign policy issues facing the country, and proceeded to knock Biden for publicly talking about the stonewalling:
“I can udnerstand why the President-elect is frustrated… I don’t agree with the way this was approached in his speech today. Look, we spent four years of negativity. The President-elect had a couple of messages today. The first is traditional coalitions like NATO. The second is we don’t do America first — if we do stuff like climate change, we need other people… We’ve got 23 days left. Focus on the big stuff… and behind the scenes, I don’t care if the president’s team is a pain in the ass. We’ve got 23 days. Let it go and give us a positive picture.” source

It’s Europe’s Turn to Reject Trump
Although Donald Trump will soon depart from the White House, his toxic legacy of America-first nationalism and isolationism will continue to dominate the Republican Party. The worst thing European leaders could do now is to sit back and resume their previous subordinate role within the transatlantic relationship.
Dec. 29, BERLIN – Despite all his whining and wailing, Donald Trump’s presidency will end on January 20, 2021. He will be history; but, sadly, his political legacy will endure. With almost 75 million Americans voting for him (and 82 million for Joe Biden), Trump mobilized an extraordinary and unexpected level of support among a base that will continue to steer the Republican Party toward his brand of nationalist isolationism. continue to read
