Donald Trump returned to Washington, being received by President Joe Biden in the Oval Office of the White House. Biden congratulated Trump on his return and expressed willingness to ensure a smooth transition. Previously, Trump had softened his criticisms of Biden and appeared optimistic about the future of the United States. Both leaders exchanged cordial comments during the meeting.
After dropping out of the presidential race in July, Biden chose to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris as his successor. In this new phase, Trump thanked for the invitation to the White House, which contrasts with his attitude after the 2020 elections. Some figures close to Trump, including Susie Wiles and Elon Musk, have gained influence in his immediate political circle.
The meeting at the White House is part of the tradition of peaceful power transition, which Trump had rejected four years ago. During the visit, internal and external policy issues were discussed, focusing on Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Additionally, Vice President Kamala Harris expressed her commitment to an effective and efficient transition to Trump's administration.
Trump's return to Washington marks a milestone in his political career, after facing criticism for his role in the Capitol events in January 2021. However, Trump and his allies see his return as an opportunity to lead the Republican Party again. During his visit, Trump met with Republican legislators and received expressions of support and enthusiasm from his followers.
