Trump receives Biden's invitation to discuss transition at the White House
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, as Trump focused on calls with supporters and world leaders. Biden's chief of staff urged Trump's team to sign necessary federal agreements to facilitate the transition, which would allow access to federal resources and security clearances.
The agreements are mandated by the Presidential Transition Act and are crucial for a smooth transition. Meanwhile, U.S. markets reacted positively to Trump's election, and discussions are ongoing regarding the potential winding down of federal cases against him before he takes office.
