Terror Attacks in U.S. Raise Security Concerns Ahead of Trump Presidency

Two New Year’s Eve attacks, one linked to ISIS, leave 16 dead and dozens injured as investigations continue.

A vehicle-ramming attack in New Orleans attributed to an ISIS sympathizer killed 15 and injured over 30 people on New Year’s Eve.
Hours later, a Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, killing one and injuring seven; no confirmed link between the incidents yet.
The attacks come just 17 days before Donald Trump is set to take office as the 47th President of the United States.
Outgoing President Joe Biden faces sharp criticism for his handling of security and leaves office with a historically low approval rating of 37%.
The incidents are expected to shape Trump's policy focus, with early speculation suggesting a tougher stance on crime and immigration.
