In a historic meeting at the White House, President-elect Donald Trump met with President Joe Biden to discuss the upcoming transfer of power. This marked Trump’s first return to the White House since losing the 2020 election to Biden.
During the meeting, Biden welcomed Trump with a promise of a smooth transition, emphasizing cooperation despite their longstanding political rivalry. Both leaders, who have had sharp disagreements on various issues, signaled their intention to maintain institutional norms throughout the transition.

Biden’s decision to invite Trump stands in contrast to Trump’s refusal to extend the same courtesy when he lost to Biden in 2020. While the transition process is underway, some logistical aspects remain delayed as Trump’s team continues discussions on agreements for office space and resources.
The two men are expected to discuss a range of topics, including foreign policy, with particular focus on the ongoing war in Ukraine.
