Trump receives congratulations and White House invitation from Biden as transition begins
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 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.
International leaders, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, also reached out to Trump. Meanwhile, U.S. markets reacted positively to Trump's election, and discussions about his legal challenges are ongoing.
