Correspondent Kim Soo-hyung, Biden-elect, came up with a countermeasure for Corona 19 today (10th). Let's start with the details.
<Reporter>
Biden, as expected, the first policy announcement was related to Corona 19.
Now, 100,000 people infected with Corona 19 and 1,000 people died each day in the U.S. are approaching the worst, and we have made clear our determination to resolve this.
Today's presentation can be summarized in two ways.
The first is to thoroughly verify the safety of the vaccine and to give free vaccination to all citizens as soon as he takes office, and the second is to appeal to the public to wear a mask mandatory to prevent Corona 19.
Let's listen to two key messages for yourself.
[Biden/U.S. President-Elect: When I take office on January 20th, I will distribute approved vaccines as soon as possible, so that as many Americans as possible are free.
I beg you to wear a mask.
It's for yourself and for your neighbors.
Wearing a mask is not a political
expression

Biden also announced an advisory group of 13 quarantine experts to cope with Corona 19.

Correspondent Kim Soo-hyung and President Trump struck the defense minister with a tweet?
<Reporter>
Yes, President Trump has expressed dissatisfaction by dismissing a staff he doesn't like by tweeting, but this time, the Secretary of Defense Esper also informed of the replacement by tweet.
In fact, it is hard to find precedent to replace the defense minister during the change of power.
Esper was once classified as a loyalist to the extent that the US media called it Yesper, but it became the top priority after public opposition to President Trump, who wanted to mobilize troops to subdue protesters during a protest against racism a few months ago.
President Trump posted several tweets alleging counting fraud today, but there are many comments that he still has no intention of accepting the election results, and that he has shown his staff as a stubborn personnel right that he is the owner of the White House.

Minister Kang

met with Secretary Pompeo at the State Department building today.
