Mr Biden, who initially ran against Trump in the 2024 election before stepping aside and endorsing Vice-President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee, welcomed the former and future president into the Oval Office, a traditional courtesy by outgoing presidents that Trump, a Republican, did not extend to Mr Biden in 2020 when he won.
"He believes in the norms, he believes in our institution, he believes in the peaceful transfer of power," White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters on Nov 12, on Mr Biden's decision to invite Trump.
"That is what is the norm. That is what is supposed to happen." Mr Biden and Trump have sharply criticised each other for years, and their respective teams hold vastly different positions on policies from climate change to Russia and trade. Mr Biden, 81, has portrayed Trump as a threat to democracy, while Trump, 78, has portrayed Mr Biden as incompetent.
