This Week in Explainers: What changes will Musk and Ramaswamy-led DOGE bring to the US
FirstpostUS President-elect Donald Trump is fast filling the positions in his new administration. This and more in our weekly roundup US President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk to lead the new Department of Government Efficiency. 2) This week also saw Trump putting the biggest question to bed — would he find a place for his ‘buddy’ Elon Musk in the Cabinet? On the appointment, Trump said that the “two wonderful Americans” would “dismantle government bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure federal agencies” through the newly formed department, which would not be a government agency. One of the countries worried about Trump’s ascension is Ukraine — the US president-elect is not a big fan of the huge amounts of money being given to Kyiv as aid.
