Biden and Trump to Meet in the Oval Office on Wednesday, White House Confirms

Washington: President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump will meet in the Oval Office on Wednesday, the White House said on Saturday.

A statement from Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Biden and Trump would meet in the Oval Office at 11:00 am at the outgoing president's invitation.

White House Press Secretary tweeted, "At President Biden’s invitation, President Biden and President-elect Trump will meet in the Oval Office on Wednesday at 11:00 am."

Such a post-election meeting is traditional between the outgoing president and the incoming president.

However, Trump, a Republican, did not host Biden, a Democrat, for such a meeting after he lost the election in 2020.
