US President-elect Joe Biden is moving quickly to build his incoming administration and could name top leaders for his cabinet as early as next week.

Mr Biden has told reporters he has already decided on who will lead the Treasury Department. That pick, along with his nominee for secretary of state, may be announced before Thanksgiving, according to people close to the transition.
