In the recent election, the bid of Trump for re-election was challenged by then former U.S. vice president Joe Biden. He was the next highest government official during the time of former Pres. Barack Obama.
It was close election fight for Trump and Biden until the results elected the latter as the new president of the United States. Initially, the former was not convinced by the result of the political race.

Xiamomi previously filed a lawsuit against the US government over the issue of being placed in the blacklist. It stressed that it is “unlawful and unconstitutional”. Reportedly, several other companies in the blacklist are planning to do the same.
