Biden Greets Trump at the White House: “Welcome Back”

In an unexpected moment of camaraderie, President Joe Biden greeted former President Donald Trump at the White House, offering a warm welcome ahead of what is expected to be a smooth transition.

“We’re looking forward to having, like we said, a smooth transition, do everything we can to make sure you’re accommodated, what you need,” Biden said, extending his hand for a handshake. “Welcome, welcome back.”

Trump responded with appreciation for the smoothness of the transition, acknowledging the challenges of politics. “Politics is tough, and in many cases not a very nice world, but it is a nice world today,” Trump said. “I appreciate very much a transition that’s so smooth, it’ll be as smooth as it can get.”

The meeting marked a rare moment of unity between the two leaders amid the usual political tension.
