Hi there.
I'm Katrina Perry from the BBC World Service.
This is the Global Story.
President elect Donald Trump.
Trump's incoming administration is starting to take shape with a team of loyalists and some surprises.
This is the second time that he's putting together a team to run the country.
With controversy already swirling around some of his choices this week, Donald Trump traveled to the White House to meet the man he's replacing.
They both advocated for a smooth transfer.
Of power, a transition that's so smooth, it'll be as smooth as it can get.
And I very much appreciate that.
Jim, you're welcome.
With Republicans winning a clean sweep of the White House, the House of Representatives and the Senate, what does that mean for efforts to put Trump's policies in place, particularly around immigration?
As the countdown to Inauguration Day in January gets underway, let's map out the path to the presidency.
With me today here in Washington is my fellow BBC chief presenter, Sumi Somaskanda.
Hi, Sumi.
Hey, Katrina.
And also our digital reporter Bernd Boozman.
