[Asia Economy New York=Correspondent Baek Jong-min] On the 8th (local time), U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order stipulating that Americans should be given priority in receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.

President Trump signed the executive order during his speech at the Vaccine Summit held at the White House, which allows Americans to be vaccinated first.

President Trump emphasized, "The executive order will ensure that the COVID-19 vaccine goes to Americans before it goes to other countries."

He added, "The number of COVID-19 infections in the U.S. will drop like a rocket over the next few months," and claimed, "The vaccine will end the pandemic."

President Trump repeatedly highlighted the COVID-19 vaccine development as his achievement. He stressed, "This is the greatest miracle in modern pharmaceutical history."

On the same day, President Trump continued to claim that the November presidential election results were rigged and that he was the winner.

When asked, "Why didn't Biden's transition team members attend today's event?" he said, "We won. We have to see who the next administration will be."

He also stated, "I hope the next administration continues the Trump administration," and added, "Let's wait to see if the lawmakers and federal justices have the courage to overturn the election results."

This day is the day the U.S. presidential electors are confirmed. Each state certifies the election results and confirms the electors secured by the winner, and on the 14th, the 46th U.S. president will be officially confirmed.

President Trump hopes to overturn the election results through lawsuits but has not achieved any success.
