Key Points:
1. Immediately after his election, Trump criticized Panama's management of the Panama Canal, claiming the costs were too high, and threatened to demand that U.S. ally Panama return the canal if it did not manage it in an acceptable manner.
2. Shortly after Trump's election, a New York court ruled that ABC must pay $15 million in defamation damages to the Trump Presidential Library. This case stemmed from host George Stephanopoulos incorrectly stating on air that Trump had been convicted of raping former columnist E. Jean Carroll.
3. Trump will officially be inaugurated on January 20, 2025, with the ceremony taking place at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.
