The transition between administrations in the U.S. usually involves months of preparation, including sharing sensitive information on foreign policy and ongoing investigations. However, the current transition from President Joe Biden to President-elect Donald Trump faces unusual challenges as critical documents remain unsigned.

This delay has sparked debate over potential disruptions in government operations and the ethical implications surrounding Trump's business interests, which he refuses to divest from. Without formal agreements, U.S. officials across various departments are hindered from fully briefing Trump's incoming team.

Evidently, ethical concerns loom large as Trump has not disclosed the names of private donors funding his transition, sidestepping legal requirements. The implications of this transition could lead to broader issues of public trust and governance, making transparency a pressing issue.
