President-elect Joe Biden criticized the Trump administration's COVID-19 vaccine distribution, stating it's "falling far behind" its target of 20 million vaccinations by December end, with only 2.1 million administered.
Biden vowed a "relentless effort" upon taking office, promising to invoke the Defense Production Act to boost vaccine production and establish widespread, equitable vaccination sites.
He urged Americans to wear masks, confirmed federal mask mandates, and warned that the nation faces "very tough" months ahead, with visible progress unlikely until March.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
