Donald Trump has just shaken hands with Joe Biden at the White House.
– The transition will be as smooth as possible, says Trump, according to AFP.
In the Oval Office they shook hands, the newly elected President Donald Trump and the outgoing Joe Biden.
– Politics is tough, and in many cases it is not a very pleasant world. Today it’s a nice world, and I appreciate that very much, says Trump in connection with the handshake.
He also promised a smooth transition.
Melania nobbed the invitation
Melania Trump was also invited to the White House to meet Joe and Jill Biden, but declined, writes CNN. According to sources, the reason is an event around her new book, in which she will participate.
The nobbed invitation breaks tradition after an American presidential election.
Earlier in the day, Donald Trump said he is open to being president for an additional, third term, which is not allowed under current law.
