Biden and Trump meet at the White House for the first time since the election
U.S. President Joe Biden congratulated Donald Trump on his return to the White House during their meeting, expressing hope that the transition process would proceed smoothly.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Wednesday, November 23 that Biden and Trump discussed national security and domestic policy issues during their nearly two-hour meeting.
First Lady Jill Biden was also present at this meeting, which was reported as part of the transition process.
Reporters were briefly allowed to cover the first meeting between Biden and Trump since the presidential election in a live broadcast.
According to a CBS report, Biden and Trump shook hands, with Biden congratulating Trump on his return to the White House.
It is noteworthy that the last face-to-face encounter between Trump and Biden was during a debate in June, where Biden referred to Trump as a “convicted criminal” and stated that he “has the morals of a criminal.”
In the same June debate, Trump stated that under Biden, the United States had become a “third-world country.”
This recent meeting marks a significant moment in U.S. politics, as two prominent figures with a history of strong public rivalry come together for a transition of power.
The cordial exchange between Biden and Trump, despite past conflicts, signals a willingness to prioritize national stability and cooperation during the transfer of presidential responsibilities.
As both leaders aim to ensure a smooth transition, the meeting underscores the importance of continuity in governance and demonstrates a commitment to addressing critical issues affecting the nation.
