Joe Biden is speeding up his agenda.
The new US president will announce the names of the first members of his future government on Tuesday, Ron Klain, close adviser to the US president-elect, said on Sunday.
"You will see the first appointments of the government of the president-elect Tuesday of this week", asserted the future chief of staff of Joe Biden on the channel ABC, without wanting to specify the portfolios concerned or some of the names.
"We will have to wait for the elected president to do it himself on Tuesday," he said.
Ron Klain, a veteran 59-year-old Democrat, had been the former vice president's first chief of staff, starting in 2009.
