00:00Before watching the video, let me remind you that there is more content on the Hotline.
00:05Next January, the Americans are about to welcome the era of President Trump's crazy 2.0.
00:11Now the outside world is paying attention to how Trump's new cabinet's personnel appointment will affect the global situation,
00:17especially the relationship between China and the United States.
00:20Yesterday, Trump announced a list of nominees through social media,
00:23many of which will focus on British generals, including Volodymyr Zelensky from Florida,
00:29who served as US National Security Advisor.
00:32And Trump's long-time ally Ratcliffe will also return to the intelligence community to lead CIA.
00:39Trump described Volodymyr Zelensky as a nationally recognized national security leader.
00:44At the same time, he is also an expert in dealing with China, Russia, Iran, and global terrorism.
00:49He once criticized China's activities in the Asia-Pacific region,
00:52and advocated that the United States must be prepared to deal with potential regional conflicts.
00:57As for Ratcliffe, who served as National Intelligence Director at the end of Trump's first term,
01:03he said that China has been the greatest threat to global democracy and freedom since World War II.
01:08Trump has also publicly praised Ratcliffe as a fearless fighter who defends the constitutional rights of all Americans.
01:15In addition to many British generals, Trump also nominated a new government efficiency department
01:20led by Indian biotech entrepreneur Ramaswamy,
01:25who fully supported his Tesla CEO Musk during the election.
01:34According to Reuters, Trump's statement said,
01:37the newly established department is like the Manhattan Project to produce atomic bombs,
01:42mainly to abolish bureaucratic institutions and reduce unnecessary expenses.
01:48In any case, after these cabinet ministers were nominated by the president,
01:51they need to be approved by the Senate first.
01:55After a great victory in the presidential election,
01:57the Trump team is now quickly switching from the campaign to the transition mode,
02:02and stressed that they are ready to welcome Trump's second term.
02:07Former President Trump will re-enter the White House in January next year,
02:11and the Republican Party is also determined to win more than half of the House of Representatives and become a big winner.
02:15U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Johnson said during a speech at the Capitol yesterday,
02:19voters have experienced four years of suffering under the rule of the Democratic Party.
02:23Now it's time to make changes and realize the vision of America's priority.
02:27Voters rejected what they really felt was the misery of the last four years.
02:31We're moving on and we're turning the page,
02:34and this is something that the American people desperately need and deserve.
02:38We are going to raise an America First banner above this place.
02:41Johnson emphasized that after Trump won the presidency for the first time in 2016,
02:45the Republican Party was not fully prepared.
02:48It wasted a lot of precious time in the early days of Congress,
02:51but this time they will not repeat the same mistakes
02:54and will prepare to welcome Trump's second term.
02:57This leadership team standing behind me has been preparing for this moment,
03:01and we are ready to deliver on America's mandate in the next Congress.
03:05We are not going to make those mistakes again.
03:07We will be ready on day one. We are prepared this time.
03:10Just as the results of the U.S. election have settled,
03:12U.S. Secretary of State Pierre has also pointed out at regular press conferences
03:15that Trump will meet with Biden to complete a peaceful transition
03:19and emphasized that this is a democratic rule that Americans want to see.
03:23Honestly, when it comes to why President Biden is doing this,
03:26because he believes in the norms, he believes in our institution,
03:30he believes in a peaceful transfer of power.
03:32It is important not just because it's important to him,
03:34but it's important to the American people.
