Part 9/11:
In a display of diplomatic decorum, President Biden and President-elect Donald Trump met at the White House to discuss the peaceful transfer of power. Biden reaffirmed his commitment to a smooth transition, emphasizing cooperation and stability post-election. Trump acknowledged the meeting positively, describing it as "really good" and noting they discussed critical issues like the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East.
This rare, cordial encounter underscores a contrast to the rhetoric often associated with the transition period. Trump later said he and Biden reconnected on vital matters and exchanged views, suggesting a cooperative spirit despite political differences. The meeting, lasting around two hours and attended by key officials, sets a tone for a respectful transfer of power.
