Out going US President Joe Biden, Wednesday welcomed president-elect Donald Trump to the White House and pledged his cooperation ahead his handover in January.
Both men shook hands in a warm atmosphere unlike in 2020 when Trump refused accept his defeat or even cooperate with Biden during the government transition period. Trump attempted to steal the election by inciting a riot during Congress certification of the presidential vote.
“Well, Mr. President-elect, former president and Donald, congratulations,” Biden said.
“Looking forward to, like we said, having a smooth transition. We’ll do everything we can to make sure you’re accommodated and get everything that you need. And we’re going to get a chance to talk about some of that today. So welcome, welcome back.”
Responding Trump said: “Thank you very much.
“Politics is tough and in many cases not a very nice world, but it is a nice world today, and I appreciate it very much.”
