In an unprecedented move, U.S. President Joe Biden has extended an invitation to President-elect Donald Trump for a meeting at the White House. A White House spokesperson announced this development on Saturday, confirming the meeting will take place on Wednesday.

Biden, who initially pursued reelection, dropped out of the race in July due to a poor debate performance against the Republican Trump. Trump's victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in the November 5 election has set the stage for his inauguration on January 20.

Speaking to reporters in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, President Biden confirmed the upcoming meeting but refrained from elaborating on their agenda. Questions about Trump's impact on democracy remain unanswered as the political world awaits this significant transition at the Oval Office.
