On Wednesday, US President-elect Donald Trump met President Joe Biden in the Oval Office of the White House to ensure a smooth transition of power.
Biden said, “welcome back” to Trump, and the two leaders shook hands. He congratulated Trump on his victory.
“Well, Mr President-elect, Donald, congratulations… and I look forward to having a smooth transition. Welcome,” Biden said.
Both the leaders assured the nation of a peaceful transition of power on January 20 next year.
Trump said, “Politics is tough, and it’s, in many cases, not a very nice world, but it is a nice world today, and I appreciate it very much. The transition is so smooth, and it will be as smooth as it can get.”
The First Lady joined President Biden in greeting President-elect Trump upon his arrival at the White House. She gave Trump a handwritten letter of congratulations for Donald Trump’s wife.
Meanwhile, addressing Republican lawmakers during his meeting with them after returning to Washington for the first time since his election victory, Trump said, “It’s nice to win.”
“I suspect I won’t be running again unless you do something,” he said.
