Donald Trump has announced he will appoint Brendan Carr, a vocal critic of the Joe Biden administration's telecommunications policies and big tech, as the new chair of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

Iran's ties with China will remain unchanged despite the election of Donald Trump as US president, an adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in remarks carried by ISNA news agency.

Ali Akbar Velayati said Trump's return to the White House in January would not "impact" Iran's foreign policy, "particularly its ties with China", according to ISNA.

"Iran and China have long-standing, close and cordial cultural and historical relations and they have had many positive effects on each other," he was quoted as saying.

US Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti has expressed optimism that the US-India ties will continue to grow under President-elect Donald Trump.

"The great thing about the US-India relationship is that it is bipartisan. It has never relied on the Democrats or Republicans being in charge of our United States Congress or the Presidency. It has grown with (every changing) president, so I expect the relationship will grow with the Republican president again," he said at an event.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has vowed to work with the incoming US administration of Donald Trump as he held his final talks with outgoing President Joe Biden.

"China's goal of a stable, healthy and sustainable China-US relationship remains unchanged" after Trump's election, Xi said as he met Biden on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Lima, Peru, for their first talks in seven months.

Donald Trump has met with PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan and Saudi Public Investment Fund boss Yasir Al-Rumayyan, leaders of the two sides deadlocked in talks over bridging the divide in men's golf.

The Washington Post reported Sunday that Trump, who has hosted PGA Tour and Saudi-backed LIV Golf events on his courses, played golf with Monahan on Friday at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.

US President-elect Donald Trump has tapped Republican Brendan Carr, an Elon Musk-backed critic of big tech, to lead the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

In a statement, Trump called him a "warrior for Free Speech".

Carr has "fought against the regulatory Lawfare that has stifled Americans' Freedoms" and will "end the regulatory onslaught that has been crippling America's Job Creators and Innovators, and ensure that the FCC delivers for rural America," Trump, who is set to return to White House in January next year, said.
