In a historic meeting, President-elect Donald Trump has sat down with President Joe Biden at the White House, a gesture that Trump himself did not extend to his predecessor when he left office. This encounter marks a significant moment in the transition of power.
President Biden, who announced his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential election on July 21, 2024, has been preparing to hand over the reins to Trump. The meeting is seen as an opportunity for the two leaders to discuss key issues and ensure a smooth transfer of power.
Key Issues on the Agenda
- Economic Policy: Trump’s team is expected to review Biden’s economic policies, including the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the Chips and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act.
- Foreign Policy: Discussions may center around Biden’s approach to international relations, including support for Ukraine and Israel, and his stance on China.
- Domestic Affairs: The meeting may address pressing domestic concerns, such as healthcare, immigration, and gun control.
As the meeting concludes, attention turns to the next steps in the transition process. Trump’s inauguration is scheduled for January 20, 2025, marking the beginning of his presidency.
