The Pentagon announced that it will immediately begin transfer procedures to the administration of President-elect Joe Biden.

"We will immediately begin providing post-election services and support in a professional, orderly and effective manner, in line with the public's expectations of the administration and our commitment to national security," USA Today quoted the Pentagon as saying.

This coincided with the announcement of the certification of election results in Pennsylvania and Nevada, which Biden won, while outgoing President Donald Trump insisted that the matter was not over yet.

In this context, the US General Services Administration informed Biden earlier that the Trump administration is ready to start the official transition process of power, according to Emily Murphy, Director of Services Department, while an official in the US administration announced yesterday that the White House agreed to receive the president-elect daily secret intelligence reports that Raise to the American President.

The decision means that Biden will have access to the latest intelligence services information on major national security threats around the world.

To that, the Washington Post revealed that White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows informed his team that the transition process is underway, but he stressed not to communicate with Biden's team unless permission was taken.

Meadows asked his team to continue using White House email accounts for official correspondence.

In the same context, a US State Department official announced, according to CNN, that the ministry officials are in contact with Biden’s team and that a meeting is planned today to discuss the process of transferring power, while the US Secretary of Health Alex Azar confirmed that his team had begun contacting Biden’s transition team, indicating that the planning For the transition process and its implementation will be professional.

Trump's legal campaign efforts have so far failed to alter the election outcome in key critical states, and a growing number of Republican leaders, business people and national security experts have urged the outgoing US president to allow the transition process to begin.

As the transition process began to the new US administration, Biden announced that his priorities for the first 100 days of his presidency would include passing legislation to reform the US immigration system and rolling back Trump's environmental orders.

Biden indicated, according to ABC News, that the immigration law will include a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, reiterating that he does not plan to use the US Justice Department as a way to insist on an investigation with Trump.

On Biden's choice of members of his new administration, the Washington Post considered that these nominations aim to curb the policies that fueled Trump's rise and his access to power, noting that the president-elect's choices reflect an attempt to return the largest amount of policies that Trump opposed by appointing symbols who called for policies that he recently ignored or It diminished its importance or helped enter it into the center of American politics.
