Trump receives Biden's invitation to discuss transition as congratulations pour in
Trump, now president-elect, received congratulations from Biden and world leaders as he begins the transition process. Biden invited Trump to the White House to discuss the transition, emphasizing the need for cooperation.
Transition discussions are expected to increase this week, but formal talks have not yet started. Biden's chief of staff urged Trump’s team to sign necessary federal agreements to facilitate the transition.
The delay in signing these agreements is affecting the processing of security clearances for Trump’s potential national security appointees. This could limit their access to federal resources before Inauguration Day on January 20, 2025.
