Thanks very much for reading our live coverage of the US election. Here are the biggest developments of the day:

- Donald Trump to ‘rip off band-aid’ in massive tax overhaul: The president-elect is planning to push aggressive taxation cuts and steep tariffs through Congress when he takes office.
- Powell ready to defend the Fed against Trump: US Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell made clear he’s ready to defend the central bank from political pressure following the re-election of Donald Trump, saying he wouldn’t resign if asked and insisting the incoming president doesn’t have the power to fire him or other officials.
