In a highly anticipated move, Donald Trump, the President-elect of the United States, returned to the White House on Wednesday, meeting with President Joe Biden in a traditional visit that highlights the peaceful transfer of power on January 20.
This encounter is particularly significant given the complex history between the two leaders.
President Biden extended the invitation to Trump, a gesture that underscores the democratic values of the United States. However, the meeting is not without its share of tension, considering Biden initially sought to defeat Trump before ending his campaign in July. Biden subsequently endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to succeed him, but she ultimately lost to Trump in the elections.
This meeting marks a departure from the events of 2020, when Trump did not invite Biden to the White House ahead of his inauguration and left Washington before Biden’s swearing-in ceremony. The upcoming transfer of power will be closely watched, given the political dynamics at play.
As the US prepares for the transition of power, all eyes are on the January 20 inauguration, which will usher in a new era of leadership under President-elect Trump.
