The incoming US president’s family circle and desire to purge his administration of outsiders will add to a backlog of half a million people being screened for security clearances. 'Top secret' clearances take 225 days, on average.

President Obama used his final public event abroad to urge successor Donald Trump to regard the US as an ‘indispensible nation ’ in the international order. As Mr Obama defended the Trans-Pacific Partnership, what he hoped would be one of his biggest policy legacies, China has offered itself as the Pacific Rim’s lead advocate for free trade.
