After the impeachment of President Donald Trump's supporters invaded the US Capitol and temporarily occupied the Capitol, several U.S. media outlets called for the dismissal of President Trump by the Democratic Party of the House of Representatives at the beginning of the week. He said he would start the procedure for impeachment.
In the United States, on the 6th of this month, during a joint session to finalize the outcome of the presidential election in the federal parliament, supporters of President Trump who complained of fraud in the election temporarily occupied the capitol and clashed with police etc. Five people died in it.
US media reported on the 8th that the opposition Democratic Party of the House of Representatives will submit an impeachment resolution seeking the dismissal of President Trump on the 11th of the week.
President Trump has been impeached over the allegations of Ukraine in December, and if the resolution is passed, he will be the first president in American history to be impeached twice.
However, President Trump's term ends on the 20th of this month, and the ruling and Republican parties occupy the majority of the Senate Impeachment Court, so it is unlikely that he will actually be dismissed.
The Democratic Party seems to have a strong stance to hold President Trump accountable for the unprecedented occupancy of Congress.
On the other hand, President-elect Biden said on the 8th that the impeachment charge should be decided by the parliament, emphasizing his stance of focusing on the inauguration of the new administration without showing any support or disagreement.
Secretary of State talks for post-government
A senior U.S. State Department official said yesterday that Secretary of State Pompeo had met with former Deputy Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who has been appointed Secretary of State under the new Biden administration, for a transition.
"The talks were very productive," Pompeo said in a post on Twitter. "We will promote an orderly transition and protect the national interests of the United States."
Immediately after the presidential election in November last year, Pompeo said he would not allow Mr. Biden to be elected, saying that "the Trump administration will move to the second term without delay."
However, President Trump has indicated that he will accept Mr. Biden's election on the 7th of this month and cooperate in a smooth transition to the administration, and it is expected that the transition work will be accelerated in each ministry and agency before the inauguration ceremony on the 20th of this month.
