特朗普政府提名疫苗怀疑论者罗伯特·F·肯尼迪 Jr. 领导卫生与公众服务部，引发了关于其胜任能力和政策方向的担忧。肯尼迪的疫苗怀疑论立场与公共卫生专业人士的观点相悖，可能对公共卫生政策产生负面影响。他的提名需要参议院确认，结果存在不确定性。 债券市场对特朗普政府的经济计划表示担忧，认为其可能导致通货膨胀和政府财政恶化。债券投资者可以通过停止购买债券来施压政府，迫使其改变政策。债券市场波动会影响各种贷款利率，例如信用卡、抵押贷款等，从而影响普通民众的生活。 拜登总统在秘鲁与中国国家主席习近平会面，这是他离任前的最后一次会晤，旨在维护稳定。此次会晤不仅是象征性的，还有实际工作要做，以确保在权力交接时期美中关系稳定。拜登政府希望巩固美中合作，并强调保持沟通渠道畅通，特别是军事合作渠道。尽管华盛顿对政策存在分歧，但在对华政策方面存在一定程度的共识，例如对中国商品的关税。
