Biden Meets Trump at White House to Begin Transfer of Power
ai generated text
US President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump met at the White House on November 13, 2024, for an Oval Office meeting. This marked a change from 2020, when Trump declined to meet Biden after their election. During the meeting, Biden congratulated Trump on his victory and expressed his desire for a "smooth transition of power." Trump replied that he appreciated Biden's civility and acknowledged that the transition would be smooth. The two leaders shook hands and held a private meeting in the Oval Office. The meeting was seen as a significant display of normalcy and civility in the aftermath of a contentious election.
Mr President-elect and former president, Donald, congratulations. I'm looking forward to having a smooth transition. We'll do everything we can to make sure you're accommodated, what you need — we're going to get a chance to talk about some of that today. Welcome. Welcome back.
Politics is tough and it's in many cases … not a nice world but it is a nice world today and I appreciate very much a transition that's so smooth, it'll be as smooth as it can get and I very much appreciate that.
President Biden reinforced his view that the United States standing with Ukraine on an ongoing basis is in our national security interest.
The American people deserve this. They deserve a peaceful transfer of power.
