US President-elect Donald Trump is meeting with President Joe Biden in the Oval Office
US President-elect Donald Trump is meeting with President Joe Biden in the Oval Office just one week after defeating Vice President Kamala Harris to win a second term.
The meeting between the outgoing president and his successor is an awkward post-election ritual that could be even more disconcerting than usual because of the animosity between the two men.
Mr. Biden has spent months calling Mr. Trump a threat to democracy, while the president elect has repeatedly called Mr. Biden the worst president ever.
But with the election behind them, Mr. Biden phoned Mr. Trump last week to congratulate him on his win and invite him to Washington – a courtesy that Trump refused to extend to Biden after his defeat in 2020.
Mr. Trump is also set to meet with lawmakers on Capitol Hill on Wednesday as they hold elections for some of Congress' pivotal leadership roles.
