The President of the United States, Joe Bidenwill receive, next Wednesday (13), its predecessor (and at the same time successor), Donald Trumpat the White House. The meeting will take place in the Oval Office of the official residence of the head of the Executive Branch.
The meeting is part of the traditional government transition process and takes place two months before the end of Biden’s term and a week after the confirmation of Trump’s victory in the elections against current vice-president Kamala Harris.

“At the invitation of President Joe Biden, President Biden and President-elect Donald Trump will meet in the Oval Office on Wednesday at 11 a.m. (local time). More details will be released soon”, says the note signed by the White House Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre.
Biden’s gesture contrasts with the stance adopted by Trump four years ago, when there was no meeting for the government transition and the period was marked by tension between the opponents ─ including the Republican alleging, without ever proving, fraud in the election. The height of tension occurred on January 6, when supporters of then-President Trump invaded the Capitol, the seat of Congress, in Washington.
