Trump is frantically seeking to avoid facing punishment before he is sworn in on January 20 for a second term as president.

Trump was fiercely opposed to TikTok during his 2017-21 first term, and tried in vain to ban the video app on national security grounds.

Donald Trump’s US presidential election win, the fall of Bashar al-Assad in Syria, and the Paris Olympics were among the news events that marked 2024.

Donald Trump said solving the Ukraine crisis would be his top priority once he assumes office next month, describing the Middle East as a “less difficult situation.”

Outgoing US President Joe Biden on Tuesday branded his successor Donald Trump’s economic plans a “disaster” in a speech hailing his own legacy in office.
