Trump receives congratulations and White House invitation as Biden pushes for transition
Donald Trump, now president-elect, received congratulatory calls from defeated opponent Kamala Harris, President Joe Biden, and various world leaders. Biden invited Trump to the White House to discuss the transition process, which has not yet formally begun.
Biden's chief of staff urged Trump's team to sign necessary federal agreements for a smooth transition. Delays in these agreements are hindering the processing of security clearances for Trump's potential national security appointees.
Trump's election has positively impacted U.S. markets, with significant gains noted. Additionally, the Justice Department is considering winding down federal cases against Trump, as sitting presidents typically cannot be prosecuted.
