Trump receives Biden's invitation to White House as transition talks begin
Donald Trump, now president-elect, received congratulations from various leaders, including President Joe Biden, who invited him to the White House for transition discussions. Trump is currently focused on calls with supporters and world leaders.
Transition talks are expected to increase later this week, but have not yet started in earnest. Biden's chief of staff has urged Trump's team to sign necessary federal agreements to facilitate the transition process.
The delay in signing these agreements is affecting the ability to process security clearances for Trump's potential national security appointees. This could limit access to federal resources needed for a smooth transition before Inauguration Day on January 20, 2025.
