On Wednesday, November 13, newly elected US President Donald Trump arrived in Washington and held a meeting with President Joe Biden at the White House.
This is reported by CNN.
Biden told Trump that he expects a “smooth transition of power” in January.
“Well, Mr. President-elect, former President Donald. Congratulations,” Biden said as Trump sat down next to him in the Oval Office.
Then they shook hands. Trump said that “politics is tough.”
“Politics is tough, and in many cases it’s not a very good peace, but today it’s a good peace, and I appreciate that very much,” Trump said.
The TV channel reported that politicians are likely to discuss a peaceful transfer of power.
The last time Trump was in the Oval Office, he wrote a two-page letter to Joe Biden and then left the building when it was announced that he had lost the 2020 election.
Trump has already addressed a large group of House Republicans in Washington.
Trump began his speech by claiming victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in swing states.
“We won all seven swing states by large margins,” Trump told the crowd.
Results of the 2024 US presidential election
The US presidential election was held on November 5. The last polling stations in America closed on November 6 at 8:00 a.m. Kyiv time.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump announced his victory in the election in a speech to supporters in Florida. Foreign leaders, in particular, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi, congratulated the Republican on his victory.
The Hill and Fox News previously declared Trump the winner of the election. The BBC reported on the Republican lead in all seven swing states.
The AP agency’s own calculation, which is considered the most reliable platform for evaluating the winner of the election, confirmed that Donald Trump, having won in Wisconsin, won the overall victory in the 2024 US presidential election, securing the necessary 270 Electoral College votes.
Current US President Joe Biden said that Kamala Harris took responsibility and “led a historic campaign under extraordinary circumstances.”
Kamala Harris herself gave a speech at Howard University in Washington on the night of November 7, in which she admitted her defeat and talked about congratulating her opponent Donald Trump on his victory.
