Trump receives Biden's invitation to discuss transition as leaders congratulate president-elect
Donald Trump, now president-elect, received congratulations from various leaders, including President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Biden invited Trump to the White House to discuss the transition process, which is expected to begin ramping up later this week.
Transition talks have not yet started in earnest, delaying necessary agreements for security clearances and access to federal resources. Biden's chief of staff emphasized the importance of these agreements for a smooth transition.
Trump engaged in calls with international leaders, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Meanwhile, U.S. markets reacted positively to Trump's election, and discussions are ongoing regarding the potential winding down of federal cases against him.
