Historic Transition: Trump and Biden Meet at White House Amid Power Shift

President-elect Donald Trump made his first return to Washington since securing victory in the recent election, heading straight to the nation's capital for a crucial meeting with President Joe Biden at the White House. The meeting is a gesture of traditional protocol representing the peaceful transition of power.

Despite their profound disagreements on matters from climate change to trade, Biden upholds the institution's norms by welcoming Trump. Discussions are expected to cover pressing issues, including foreign policy directions with conflict in Ukraine taking precedence.

Scheduled for 11 a.m. ET, the meeting also highlights challenges within the transition process. Although preparations are evident with parade stands under construction, vital agreements related to the transition remain unsigned, posing potential hurdles to the smooth handover of duties.
