Biden's transition begins

美总统权力过渡期开启

The US General Services Administration (GSA) on Monday told Joe Biden it is ready to begin the formal presidential transition process for him.

美国总务管理局11月23日通知拜登，政权过渡进程可以正式开始。

GSA Administrator Emily Murphy told Biden in a letter that she was prepared to make "post-election resources and services available" for Biden's transition to the White House, stressing that despite "recent developments involving legal challenges and certifications of election results," she made her decision "independently, based on the law and available facts."

美国总务管理局局长埃米莉•墨菲致信拜登，表示将为其提供大选后总统过渡程序所需的资源和相关服务。墨菲强调，尽管最近的事态发展涉及到法律挑战和对选举结果的认证，但自己是基于法律和现有事实独立作出这个决定的。

President Donald Trump tweeted on the same day that he has recommended that the GSA "do what needs to be done with regard to initial protocols," and that he has directed his team to facilitate Biden's transition, although he has not conceded defeat.

尽管尚未承认输掉总统大选，但美国总统特朗普同日发表推文称，已建议美国总务管理局"按照初始协议要求履行职责"，并告知其团队提供必要协助。
