[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunwoo Lee] One day before his retirement, U.S. President Donald Trump released a farewell address containing wishes for the success of the new administration and self-praise.
According to foreign media including CNN, on the 19th (local time), the White House released an excerpt of President Trump's farewell address. In this farewell address delivered via video, President Trump stated, "We are launching a new administration and pray that the new administration succeeds in making America safe and prosperous." He added, "I am especially proud to be the first president in decades not to start a new war." It is reported that in the excerpt, President Trump did not mention President-elect Joe Biden by name.
Additionally, President Trump addressed the riot at the Capitol on the 6th by his supporters, saying, "Every American was horrified by the attack on our Capitol," and "Political violence is an attack on everything we Americans hold dear. It can never be tolerated." This statement is interpreted as a political response to the burden of being pointed out by both the Republican and Democratic parties as the mastermind behind the riot.

Meanwhile, President Trump is reportedly planning not to attend President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration ceremony on the 20th and will leave for the Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, before the inauguration. Before leaving the White House, President Trump is planning a grand 'self-farewell ceremony' and has invited his close aides and several politicians. However, with close aides such as Vice President Mike Pence refusing to attend and instead going to Biden's inauguration, it is expected that the scale of the farewell ceremony will be reduced.
