Biden has been making a last pitch for global support on issues from Ukraine and Gaza to climate change before Donald Trump returns to the White House.

G20 leaders meeting at Rio de Janeiro's Modern Art Museum for a two-day summit tackled an agenda that reflected a shifting global order, trying to shore up multilateral consensus before US President-elect Donald Trump returns to power in January.

Carr has "fought against the regulatory Lawfare that has stifled Americans' Freedoms" and will "end the regulatory onslaught that has been crippling America's Job Creators and Innovators, and ensure that the FCC delivers for rural America," Trump said in the statement.

The annual UN talks in Baku are deadlocked at the midway point, with nations no closer to agreeing a $1 trillion deal for climate investments in developing nations after a week of negotiations.

The 81-year-old lame-duck US president attempted to use a summit in Lima to shore up ties with key Asia-Pacific allies before the potential wrecking ball of a second Trump term.

The US president and president-elect shook hands in front of a roaring fire in the Oval Office, with Biden restoring a tradition that Trump broke when he refused to recognize his 2020 defeat by Biden.

Musk and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy will co-lead a newly created Department of Government Efficiency, an entity Trump indicated will operate outside the confines of government.

State news agency Antara reported that the meeting took place inside the Wisma Indonesia guest house in the eastern part of the capital city.

Indonesia and the United States on Tuesday underscored their “unwavering support” for upholding freedom of navigation and “respect for sovereign rights and jurisdiction” in their talks on the South China Sea.

President Prabowo Subianto vows during a meeting with US President Joe Biden at the White House that he will continue to work hard to strengthen the relation between the two countries.

Washington sees Indonesia, the most populous country in Southeast Asia, as an important partner in a region where its rival Beijing has deep trade and investment ties.

President Prabowo Subianto posted a video of his phone call with Donald Trump, during a working visit to Washington, DC, saying that he was willing to travel to Florida to meet the president-elect in person amid an ongoing effort to solidify his American rapport.

"It's nearly ready," Gonzalo Rios, deputy general manager of the Peruvian subsidiary of Chinese port operator Cosco Shipping, which has a 60 percent stake in the facility, said during a recent visit to the deep-water port.

Rubio has notably hawkish views on China, which he sees as a threat and challenge to US economic and military might.

President Prabowo Subianto arrived in the United States on Monday amid hopes for a steadier Indonesia-US relationship, as US president-elect Donald Trump’s victory looks set to present both challenges and opportunities on the international stage.

"I am honored to nominate Chairwoman Elise Stefanik to serve in my Cabinet as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Elise is an incredibly strong, tough, and smart America First fighter," Trump said in a statement to the New York Post.

As the results began to go Trump's way, China said it hoped for "peaceful coexistence" with the United States.

His exuberant speech came despite the fact that only Fox News had declared him the winner, with no other US networks having made the call so far.

US media have thus far projected that Trump has won in more than half of the 50 US states, including three key battlegrounds Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, two of which voted Democratic in the last election.

Republicans also won several races that could allow them to expand their 220-212 majority in the House of Representatives, though the final outcome may not be known for days.

Trump's early wins included the predictably Republican Florida and Texas while Harris won California, giving Trump 227 electoral votes and Harris 172. The magic number to win the presidency is 270.

The early results were as anticipated, with the contest expected to come down to seven swing states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Opinion polls showed the rivals neck and neck in all seven going into Election Day.

Tallies are tumbling in, with US media projecting wins for Trump so far in 20 states including big prizes Texas and Ohio, and other reliably Republican-leaning states.

The platform is also playing a central role in enabling the spread of false information about the critical battleground states that will likely determine the outcome of the presidential race, election and misinformation experts said on Monday.

While not highly likely, such an outcome remains possible, tormenting Americans already perched painfully on the edge of their seats ahead of the November 5 election.
