Washington –
President of the United States (US) Joe Biden welcome President-elect Donald Trump to the White House. The meeting ensured that the transition of power between Biden and Trump would run smoothly.
Reported by AFP, Joe Biden welcomed Donald Trump back to the White House on Wednesday (11/13/2024). Biden showed civility to his rival who did not extend the same court to him four years ago.
The US president and the president-elect shook hands in front of a fire in the Oval Office as they promised a smooth transition – a stark contrast to Trump’s refusal to give in in 2020.

“Welcome back,” said Biden, 81, as he congratulated Trump, 78.
Biden, who dropped out of the race in July but saw his surrogate Kamala Harris lose to Trump last week, said he was “looking forward to a smooth transition” and promised e “everything we can do to make sure you have a place to stay. “
When the two presidents with a combined age of 159 shook hands, Biden looked down, while Trump leaned forward and looked him in the eye.
Trump inspired the crowd that attacked the US Capitol in 2021 and ran a brutal and divisive election campaign this year – but he tried to be civil when he returned to the White House.
“Politics is hard, and in many cases, the world is not very fun. The world is fun right now and I really appreciate that,” said Trump.
Trump said the transfer of power would be “as smooth as you can make it.” “
